Found in 2 Collections and/or Records:

French Borrowed Feathers dust-jacket, 1934

 Item — Box: CFC Printed Materials Box 3
Identifier: CFC2021.0285.1
Abstract

This "protege-cahier" pictures the jay at a peacocks' ball or court. Like the other dust-jacket sent by Mimi, it has a checkerboard background. The back cover offers the text of La Fontaine's fable under addition and multiplication tables. Mimi mentioned to me that this, along with the accompanying FC dust-jacket, belonged to her mother in 1934. The inside has simple 6" fold-in flaps with more advertising. Like the cover, the advertising here also mentions "Grand' Place, Le Cateau."

Dates: 1934
