Postcards

In fact, the person signing their
name Barday was none other than
Georges Dayez, son of the publi-
sher Jules Dayez who chose the
name of the card publisher as his
pseudonym.
Born in 1907, the young Georges
Dayez was 18 years old when his
father and Maurice Barré published
the first postcards from the Barday
house. From a very young age, he
was destined to become a painter
and acquired printing techniques
from his father, as well as artistic
education at the Académie de la
Grand Chaumière, the Académie
Julian and the evening drawing
classes of the City of Paris.
A great traveller, Georges Dayez
travelled the length and breadth of
France, drawing beautiful represen-
tations of monuments and towns
which were subsequently used
in postcards. Later in his career,
Georges Dayez moved on to a more
abstract art form for which he be-
came famous. He died in 1991.
