Lol at the one where the guy prefers snuff to a ‘kiss’. What they don’t say(and maybe doesn’t need to be said) is he’s got 5 kids by her, or that Cousin Claude over there lost his eyesight in a farm accident years ago!

Would love to share a pinch with Mrs Pipelet!

I made a search for a rat’s tail snuff box (a type of a snuffbox, apparently quite popular back then in France) and got directed to another directory in the same domain:

@volunge     I thought that Mrs Pipelet was Rowan Atkinsons sister.

On a serious note,  it is no wonder Frenchmen drink so much wine if this is what the women look like in naughty French postcards.

@tboyer   An excellent find.   Keep up the good work.
