Sender: Isacle
Unarguably the most famous painting in history, Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, her real identity and her mystical smile are the subject of many theories and speculation. One theory given for her smile was that during this period in history, women were instructed to smile only with one side of their mouths so as to add an air of mystery and elegance...
The original Mona Lisa has gone through many sets of woes like being stolen, damaged, painted over, attacked by an acid thrower etc. But as you can see, even this Mona Lisa has its own sufferings too, of being torn in its postal journey. Such a pity...
Isacle is from Portugal but I noted that this card was sent from France due to the French stamps on it (albeit no postal marks).
