Abstract
Here is a first for me! I did not know that there were cloth tobacco cards! The quotation appears to be drawn from 6.18, "Hercules and the Carter" or, to be more true to La Fontaine, "The Carter in a Rut." La Fontaine's French there is "Aide-toi, le Ciel t'aidera." For once, the card is quite accurate! Besides that, it is quite pretty.
