"Post Card of Marville" is a photographic work by Stanislas Walery, a notable photographer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for his portraits and studies of dancers, actresses, and other figures from the entertainment world of Paris. This particular postcard features a dancer from the famous Moulin Rouge, a cabaret known for its vibrant and risqué performances that captivated the bohemian spirit of Paris during the Belle Époque.

The Moulin Rouge, since its opening in 1889, has been a symbol of the artistic and nocturnal life of Paris, and dancers such as the one depicted in "Post Card of Marville" were central to the allure and mystique of the venue. These performers were often the subjects of promotional postcards, which served both as souvenirs and as a means of advertisement for the shows.

Stanislas Walery, born Stanisław Julian Ignacy Ostroróg (1863–1935), was a Polish count who became a renowned photographer in Paris, often working under the pseudonym "Walery." He is particularly remembered for his series of photographs of Liane de Pougy, a famous dancer and courtesan of the time, as well as for his nudes and portraits of women that were both celebrated and controversial for their eroticism.

The "Post Card of Marville" is a testament to Walery's skill in capturing the elegance and sensuality of the performers of his era. His work is characterized by a careful attention to lighting and composition, which helped to elevate the status of photography as an art form. The postcard is not only a piece of photographic history but also a cultural artifact that reflects the social and artistic milieu of Paris at the turn of the century.

As a historical document, "Post Card of Marville" provides insight into the popular culture of the time, the role of women in entertainment, and the evolution of photography as a medium. It is a valuable piece for those interested in the history of performance art, the representation of women in art, and the development of photographic techniques and styles.
