Original real photo postcard depicting the Rade de Toulon (Toulon Harbor) at night, titled Effet de Nuit. The long-exposure photograph shows warships and harbor buildings beautifully illuminated by electric lights, with reflections shimmering on the calm Mediterranean waters.
Toulon has been Frances primary naval base since the 18th century, and postcards like this one capture the power and elegance of its fleet under dramatic nighttime lighting. Likely dating to the 1930s-1940s, this card exemplifies the artistry of prewar maritime photography.
