Company
One of the most famous heraldists in France in the mid 20th century was Robert Louis. He designed a numer of arms, but he was famous for his heraldic art of French historical regions, towns and provinces. He wrote a number of books on the different arms of towns in several départements, most French heraldic stamps were based on his drawings and a large number of postcards have been issued.
The postcards have been issued by different companies during the years. Here all postcards with his work are combined.
