Mignon, the young gipsy girl, is the central character of an “opera comique” written by Ambroise Thomas, and based on a novel by Goethe. The romantic opera was first performed in the mid 19th century. Mignon is usually depicted as, a bare footed gypsy girl, playing a mandolin. These postcards were very popular at the start of the 20th century in many countries
