PC Paris appears to be one of the largest French postcard companies. We note PC Paris cards in the early 20th century before World War I. Some of the cards were rather strangely posed such as little girl with a big wine bottle. Boys were commonly pictured with floweres. Sailor suits were a popular costume for the boys, sometimes with wide brimmed hats. PC Paris was still printing cards in the 1930s. Card in the early 1930s showed boys in short shorts, often with white kneesocks ans strap shoes. The curled mid-length hair cut was also popular.
