Gorgeous! I love these hand coloured postcards.
One of my favourite Postcrossing related webshop sells beautiful reprints of these old French cards, and they all have a stamp on the front. First I believed it to be a type of collage, like scrapbooking, but now I notice in your original collection that they just had that habit. Do you have any idea why? Maybe it was some kind of postal trend? I mean, this is not the same as a maxicard, where the stamp, card subject and cancellation date match up with the same theme.

I'm sorry I haven't a definitive answer for this, but I'll certainly enquire at the next show I attend. I believe it was a cultural trend because of a misinterpretation of the postal regulations. Undivided back post cards pre-1907 say "address only on this side", a holdover from the private mailing cards days, when cards had no images on them. A lot of these front-stamped cards are from the years when we were still figuring out how post cards should work.
