Rothéneuf, Cȏte d’Émeraude, Un coin du Havre, France, ca early 1900s
This is an unused, divided back, postcard with a black & white picture by the French photographer and postcard publisher, Henri Le Malloit (1866-1953). The title identifies the view as part of the harbor. Rothéneuf is a seaside village resort community located in northwest France not far from Saint-Malo.
The Emerald Coast, or Cȏte d’Émeraude, is a name given to the English Channel coast of eastern Brittany near the border with Normandy, France. Eugene Herpin, who was a lawyer and historian, named it because of the colors of the sea and the shore. It was hoped the name would encourage tourism and development.
Thursday postcard #605, dated 27 April 2023, has another view of Rothéneuf that includes the famous sculptures in the rocks that were created by Abbé Fouré, who lived as a hermit in the cliffs above Rothéneuf. To see it, use the search option on the blog: Rotheneuf.
The photographer, Henri Le Malloit, used this logo on his postcards:
