Found in 12 Collections and/or Records:
Amora French dust-jacket, 1952
Dust-jacket presenting "The Coach and the Fly", 1930
The verso presents the text along with comparative presentations of a shoe without and with Solitaire protection. The fly on the front of the jacket is quite outsized! I can find nothing on F. Sébille.
Dust-jacket provided by "Cadet de France", 1935
A rather primitive design signed by "CR" shows the cheese in mid-air falling to the waiting fox. The back cover offers La Fontaine's verse text and tables of addition and subtraction. The end-flaps offer chances to list the program for morning and evening each day of the week.
Dust-jacket provided by "Car" licorice, 1935
The back of the dust-jacket presents tables of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The design on the cover is simple enough. Neither critter is going to win this encounter!
Dust-jacket provided by "la Neige de Savoie", 1935
The back cover of this dust-jacket shows the portions of France. Inside flaps explain that if you want to grow up to have strong teeth, you will eat "la Neige de Savoie". The fox here seems particularly eager to get what the crow does not want to give up!
Dust-jacket representing Jean de La Fontaine, 1930
Characters from some of La Fontaine's most famous fables are arranged under his portrait. The back of the dust-jacket quotes his promythium to TH: "Running solves nothing. You need to depart on time." The inside flap encourages babies to ask "Maman" to make sure that this is a "bébé BLÉDINE."
Four graph-ruled 16-page notebooks, 1935
The notebook with the WC cover is filled with computations and titled as notebook for vacation duties at the beginning of the "2eme." To my surprise, it is dated 1969! I would have presumed that these booklets were printed in the 1930's. Paul Igert signs all but the "Bear and the Gardener." He seems to have been born in 1899. In the 1890's, the Verminck family may have been the most powerful influence in Marseilles, the port through which the raw materials for their industry came.
"The Little Fish and the Angler" Dust Jacket, 1935
The flaps on the inside of the dust-jacket offer tables of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Both fable illustrations are done with red and green coloring, and offer a rich background to their foreground focus.
The Travelers and the Bear Handbill, 1950
"Handbill" is my best guess as to what these two very lightweight sheets are. I never thought of using fables to advertise medication to kill lice! One should use La Marie-Rose on one's children every Thursday, so that one can send proper children to school. The quips on the back touting the virtues of La Marie-Rose are a riot! The earlier handbill illustrating TB proclaims that Marie-Rose Lotion is not greasy and does not stain. It wards off the insects that bring all sorts of diseases!
Three dust-jackets, 1915
Paul Giraud died in 1917. The line figures on these dust-jackets are surprisingly engaging, particularly the tears of the dying laborer's children. I also enjoy the three different emotions suggested by the three faces in MSA. Can one speak of a "cartoon style," and would it appropriately characterize the approach of these three illustrations?
Tortoise and Hare Dust Jacket, 1940
The title continues "calme la Toux * flatte le Gout" (perhaps "calms the cough, soothes the taste"?) Two marked "Face au Pont Grand Pharmacie. J. Fontaine. Compiegne." Highly colorful cartoons of TH, GA, and TMCM grace the covers of these three dust jackets. The back cover has basic road signs. Inside on the flaps are lists of districts of France.
