Tinted portrait postcard of French actress Cécile Sorel, photographed by Léopold‑Émile Reutlinger, the renowned Parisian studio photographer known for Belle Époque theatrical portraits. Sorel later became Comtesse de Ségur by marriage and was a major figure in French theater and society.
The postcard shows:
“SOREL” printed on the image
“Reutlinger, Paris” printed beneath the photographer’s name
Embossed semi‑circle corner impressions — typical of early 20th‑century postcard production and mounting methods
The postcard is displayed in a modern frame with matting. The exact production date and originality of the postcard are unknown, but the style, tinting, and embossed corners are consistent with early 1900s Reutlinger studio postcards.
