Description: Cherbourg-Octeville, FRANCE - HANDCOLORED: Cherbourg-Octeville is a city and former commune situated at the northern end of the Cotentin peninsula in the northwestern French department of Manche. It is a subprefecture of its department and was officially formed when the commune of Cherbourg absorbed Octeville on 28 February 2000. The city has been a strategic position over the centuries, disputed between the English and French. Cited as one of the "keys to the kingdom" by Vauban, it became, by colossal maritime development work, a first-rate military port under the leadership of Louis XVI and Napoleon and holds an arsenal of the French Navy. A stopping point for prestigious transatlantic liners in the first half of the 20th century, Cherbourg was the primary goal of US troops during the invasion of Normandy in 1944. This Handcolored, Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard is in good condition. Levy Sons, Paris. No. 184.
