This postcard shows a woman wearing a bonnet and dress drawing water from a public fountain. She looks up at the camera with what Charles C. Myers says is a smile characteristic of many older women from the Normandy region of France. Myers additionally points out the heavy wooden shoes the woman wears.
In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “This is the customary dress for the old ladies and you always see the happy expression on their faces. They wear heavy wood shoes which adds to the unique effect of their attire.”
