Austin TX Texas Legation de France Chrome Postcard

This vintage postcard features the historic Legation de France in Austin, Texas, erected in 1840 by Comte Alphonse Dubois De Saligny and purchased by the State of Texas in 1945. Captured in vibrant Scenic Chrome color photography by Don R. Bartels, the image showcases the iconic white legation building behind a wrought iron gate and stone pathway, surrounded by lush trees and garden space. The postcard is a standard size (5.5 x 3.5 inches) and printed on quality paper stock, typical of mid-20th century Scenic Chrome postcards.

The Legation de France is a significant Texas landmark with deep historical relevance as a symbol of early diplomatic relations during the Republic of Texas era. This postcard clearly presents the entrance gate with a sign indicating visiting hours, adding to its collectible appeal. Published by Don R. Bartels, based in McAllen, Texas, this piece is a perfect addition for collectors of Texas history, vintage postcards, or scenic chrome photographic prints.
