The bottom part has been cropped, it was a gob-smackingly ghastly advert for Tampax.
It didn't do much for the sale of tampons, but the advert sold well!
corresponds to English 'as happy as a fish in water'
But how do you say 'french letter' in French?

"Lettre française," according to both Google Translate™ and my half remembered high school French.

Aren't they called that because they show French girls? I thought they were more easy!And of course we’ve all heard of "cartes postales françaises."
They probably were French.
A French postcard is a small, postcard-sized piece of cardstock featuring a photograph of a nude or semi-nude woman. Such erotic cards were produced in great volume, primarily in France, in the late 19th and early 20th century. The term was adopted in the United States, where such cards were not legally made.[1] The cards were sold as postcards, but the primary purpose was not for sending by mail, as they would have been banned from delivery. The cards sometimes even depicted naked lesbians.[2] French street vendors, tobacco shops and a variety of other vendors bought the photographs for resale to tourists.

I’d never looked up why they were called that.

Thank you. I don't suppose it mentioned any with forced blowjobs or crucifixion?They probably were French.
