Abstract:
Postcard of Pharmacie Lesage in Douvres-la-Délivrande, France. Card features a yellowing black and white photo reproduction of the outside of the drugstore. The four story building was built in 1901 by François Rouvray for the pharmacist and mayor Georges Lesage, the ironwork made by Adolphe Marie. The entrance is made of large glass and iron, with "Pharmacie" on the windows and "G. Lesage" on the stone above it. There is another small doorway on the left. The building is built of limestone with elements of the Art Nouveau style, and around the windows are iron window guards. In front of the store is a cobblestone sidewalk and street.
