La Cigogne|Limoges s. d. [années 1930]|7.5 x 5 cm|Photograph|En spirales
Album of postcards depicting the châteaux of the Loire, probably dating from the late 1930s.
A precious and moving inscription by General de Gaulle, on the verso of the album's title page, containing seventeen views of châteaux in the Loire valley: "Offered by my dear niece Geneviève", signed with his initials. It is with these very words that he presented her his war memoirs: "To my dear niece Geneviève, who was, at once, to the very end, on the brink of death, a soldier of Free France, and whose example has served me."
