Postcard with reproduction of a photograph of the author Gyp (pseudonym of Sibylle Gabrielle Riquetti de Mirabeau, comtesse de Martel). Gyp was a prolific French novelist and friends with Maurice Barrès. The postcard was found inside a copy of her book Miquette (Paris: Calmann Lévy, 1898), containing a dedication to "Madame Alphonse Daudet" (Julia Daudet, a French poet and journalist, and wife of the writer Alphonse Daudet).
