Saint-Quentin – Theatre, Monument de 1587, Hotel de Ville

The indistinct postmark suggests this card may have been mailed in 1910.  As is our wont, we wanted to know more about either the commune or the saint himself, so we went again to Wikipedia, which told us:  “Saint-Quentin is a commune in the Aisne department in Hauts-de-France in northern France. It has been identified as the Augusta Veromanduorum of antiquity. It is named after Saint Quentin, who is said to have been martyred there in the 3rd century”.  (We are almost 100% certain you will see that exactly the same way we did.)  Grade: 2
