CROIX - ROUGE FRANCAISE, ASSOCIATION des DAMES FRANCAISES - travelled postcard of the association's greetings, "the board of directors sends you its best wishes for 1917 and expresses its deep gratitude for the devotion you continue to lavish on our dear wounded". Very fine card by an illustrator from the Lapina publishing house showing a lady nurse standing in profile, with the rear landscape ablaze. Very fine and interesting matching franking, pre-New Year's Day cancellation on stamp no. 146, the first Red Cross stamp (10c red sower with overprint + 5C) - Makes a perfect maximum card.
