18 postcards – 12 are an ongoing note to Charlotte Rumbold from Horace Swope. Postcard 1: Horace Swope notes that these are a bunch of postcards that he accumulated that he thought Charlotte would enjoy. The first is “Procesion de la Semana Santa.” The second and third are of “pelote basque a chistera” players – similar to jai alai, which Horace Swope writes is like glorified handball. The fourth is titled “La Cote D’Argent,” the fifth of “Les Pyrenees, Gavarnie – La Gave et la Vue generale du Cirque,” where Horace Swope stopped overnight. The sixth is a photograph of a woman titled “Scenes et Types Des Pyrenees.” The seventh is of La Basilique in Lourdes, southwestern France. The eighth and ninth are more “Scenes et Types Des Pyrenees,” the tenth is of a benediction, again at Lourdes. The eleventh postcard depicts women with large pots balancing on their heads in Biarritz, and the last is of a procession “a l’Esplanade” at Lourdes. The other postcards were sent to Charlotte Rumbold from Horace Swope in Europe, 1917-1919. One depicts Marseille, another three Montpellier, another a depiction of St. Paul, one of Paris city streets, another of the Field Columbian Museum in Jackson Park in Chicago, another of Pittsburgh at night, another a cathedral at Frejus, a coastal town in Southern France. Another depicts Cite de Carcassonne, a French town, another scene in Frejus, and lastly, what may be Camp Pike, French barracks during World War I., No date
