I wonder if this could be a depiction of one of the pavilions at the 1900 Paris World Exposition? The ticket booth and the tricolour on the right might point to this (though the red white and blue stripes are on the wrong alignment).

Mind you, having had a very quick look at images of the various pavilions on the web, I cannot see an obvious contender. If only the German script was more legible!

Jean Veber's caricature "L'Impudique Albion", a depiction of Britannia, with Edward VII's face as her backside, became a popular subject for budding postcard artists.

The two examples below, along with the caricature of Edward VII, are original hand drawn illustrations.

Both drawings fist appeared in Veber's "Les Camps de Reconcentration au Transvaal", a special number of L'Assiette au Buerre, published on 28 Sep 1901. Many of the illustrations from this publication were reproduced as a set of postcards in Holland. See Paul's earlier post: Jean Veber

Perhaps one of the most striking sets, this time of Dutch origin.

Drawings by E.G. Schlette; published/printed by N.J. Boon, Amsterdam.

This is not the complete set. I know, for instance, that there is a "Groet uit England" card, but I have only seen this in John Cowlin's publication "My Propaganda & Satirical Postcards of the Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902". ["Groet uit England" card added 19/07/2024].

1. Groet uit Elandslaagte
2. Groet uit Elandslaagte (version 2)
3. Groet uit Ladysmith
4. Groet uit Lady-Smith
5. Groet uit Kimberley
6. Groet uit Mafeking
7. Groet uit Langs-Nek
8. Groet uit Natal
9. Groet uit Transvaal
10. Groet uit Magersfontein
11. Groet uit Kaapstad
12. Groet uit Durban
13. Groet uit Basuto-land
14. Groet uit Derdepoort
15. Groet uit Pretoria
16. Groet uit Pietermaritzburg
17. Groet uit England [added 19/07/2024]
