Old white enameled tin plate with black lettering, bearing a "Notice to Travelers" concerning priority seats. Its text details the conditions of access and the seats reserved for war invalids with a card issued by the prefect, as well as the conductor's intervention to free these seats. A second paragraph invites travelers to leave a seat for mothers carrying an infant. With its old-fashioned wording, rounded corners, and four mounting eyelets, this plate is a testament to the rules of life in public transport, interesting for a collection of signage or social history objects.
