This is a series of trade cards issued in France, showing the coat of arms of cities that were decorated during the wars in the 19th century. The reverse of (most of) the cards describes for what battle/siege the decorations were awarded. The latest war mentioned is the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71. This dates the cards prior to the First World War.
The postcards are known with several different designs on the reverse. And many cards are known with advertising printed on the front of the cards, see images below.

* [[Villes Décorées de France (Bleu Richter)|Bleu Richter]]
