Capitaine Renard et Bouc, 1950
The expressions on both characters' faces are appropriate for La Fontaine's fable of the fox and the goat, especially the goat's surprise at being left behind. I do not understand the reference to the fox as "capitaine." I do not yet understand "allait de compagnie." Perhaps "was traveling through the countryside" or maybe "was leaving the company of someone"?
Sparkly French, Fox and Crow, 1955
Most of the four animal figures on these cards are clothed. For some reason, the stork offering food to the fox in tall vases is not clothed. The fox has his hands on his hips in a fine gesture of disappointment and even dudgeon. In TH, the hare hurries so quickly toward the finishing line that he loses his hat. In FC, the fox holding an umbrella with one hand reaches the other hand out to catch the fallling cheese. It is hard for me to see what the gray sparkles add to these pictures.
