Bledine, Set of 6, 1930
File — Box: CFC Trade Cards Box 1
Identifier: CFC2021.0155.1-6
Abstract
Blédine seems to have offered the right food for infants after mother's milk, perhaps something like cream of wheat. They also produced Blécao. These are very nicely colored illustrations. As so often, the French seem to want children to act out their fables, even if they lose some of their meaning in the process. I wonder, for example, if the TB fable does not lose its significance when the "bear" surprising the travelers is a costumed child. The text on some of these pages overflows onto...

Bénédictine, 1909
File — Box: CFC Postcards Box 1
Identifier: CFC2018.0313.1-6
Abstract
The fox here tries to get not grapes, but the distilled essence of grapes in a bottle standing on a crate.The fox and stork have neither shallow plates nor tall vases. They do have a bottle of something worthy!In the fable, the dog lets the others have his master's lunch. Here he lets them have the lunch but not the bottle of brandy! This donkey is charged with neither salt nor sponges but with a couple of precious cases of Dom brandy.In an...

Board Held by the Rats Dessert Plate, 1990
Item — Box: CFC Tableware Box 9
Identifier: CFC2019.0040.2.4
Abstract
This lovely set combines busy central images with a uniform "leaf, grape, and vine" decoration around each plate's border. They choose well when they put FC on the cover of the box. My second prize goes to "The Crow Trying to Imitate an Eagle." In both of these, the open spaces make reading the plate's central image easier and more enjoyable.

Bon Point Chocolat Corona, 1925
Item — Box: CFC Chocolate and Chicoree Cards Box 1
Identifier: CFC2018.0263.1-4
Abstract
This series of four cards is among the smaller but more nicely done cards that this collection has. The four images are well done. The picture side of the card includes a fable title at its top, a colored image, and then three lines of advertisement: Bon-Point, Offert par le Chocolat, Delespaul-Hayez." The verso is identical on all four: Chocolat Corona Delespaul Havez: Le Meilleur Chocolat pour votre Gouter. Exigez-Le!!" FS; WL; "The Hare and the Frogs"; and "The Old Woman and Her Two...

Bonniol Children, 1944
Item — Box: CFC Postcards Box 1
Identifier: CFC2021.0136.1-3
Abstract
Good color work in these cards notable for their unevenly cut edges. One can ask what the purpose is of having the children play the adult roles in some of these fables. In "The Oyster and the Litigants" there may be something adult and even erotic about these children. In WL, it makes sense that the bigger boy can take what he wants from the little girl. Is the fox in FG a male putting down females above? One might also ask questions about how the figures in MSA fit together. Does...

Boudier "Pates Alimentaires", 1890
Item — Box: CFC Trade Cards Box 1
Identifier: CFC2021.0088.1
Abstract
The color work in this card is exceptional. Boudier claims awards 1867-1878. The image is a clear reference to the two mice or rats with an egg, but what is the chick doing in the picture? Advertising on the verso. No reference to La Fontaine or the fable.

Box of 4 "Fables de La Fontaine" cardboard puzzles., 1960
Item — Box: CFC Puzzles Box 1
Identifier: CFC2020.0140.1
Abstract
These are spirited illustrations of fables. The animals about which Perrette dreams are sitting or standing along the path. Both grasshopper and ant are curious mixtures of human and animal. The tortoise is apparently crawling or flopping over the ribbon marking the finish line. The sturdy cardboard puzzles, about 6¾" x 9½", are in excellent condition, perhaps never taken apart. The box itself has suffered more wear. Included are same-sized images of the puzzles' scenes. Since there are four...

Bronze Medallion, Fox and Crow, 1950
Item
Identifier: CFC2019.0220.2
Abstract
These smaller medallions are in exactly the same style as the 2½" variety. The fiveI have are FC, FG, FS, GA, and WL. FG has something other than the title of the fable and the artist's name: "Ils sont trop verts et bons pour les goujats." Similarly, WL has the opening lines of its fable, and GA the closing line of its. The workmanship is excellent. I continue to pursue the question of whether some medallions were cast only in the smaller format and others only in the larger--or whether...

Calvet-Rogniat La Fontaine Cards, 1960
File — Box: CFC Fables Cards Box 1
Identifier: CFC2018.0287.1-35
Abstract
Strong, colorful presentations of the fables. The picture side includes the large illustration and a title beneath. The verso contains the title again, the text of the fable, La Fontaine's name, and the "Editions Educatives: Paris" logo. I enjoy the expression on the face of the bumpkin fisherman (note the striped stockings) as he hauls in his little fish. Also well portrayed is the greed of the man in GGE. The illustrator represents the notion of "belling the cat" physically by having the...

Capitaine Renard et Bouc, 1950
Item — Box: CFC Postcards Box 1
Identifier: CFC2021.0081.1
Abstract
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"?

Card 2, 1910
Item — Box: CFC Trade Cards Box 1
Identifier: CFC2021.0092.1
Abstract
The Remontey card is labeled "2" and the "Au Gagne Petit" card is labeled "A." I presume that the former follows a summertime card and precedes the approach to the ant's door in the "Au Gagne Petit" card. Though the formats differ slightly the coloring of the cicada's clothing seems to indicate that these two images are part of the same series. It is not clear that Card #3 belongs in t his series, even though the cicada's clothing seems consistent throughout the four images. #1, #2, and...

Item — Box: CFC Tableware Box 12

Here are two ceramic kitchen storage canisters, each with a fitting lid. Unfortunately, there seem to be no markings identifying the manufacturer. The "farine" (flour) canister is slightly larger: 4¾" x 4" across the open top and 5¼" high to the top of the lower portion, but 8" to the top of the whole jar. The "sucre" (sugar) canister is 4¼" x 3½" across the open top and 5" high to the top of the lower portion, but 6¾" to the top of the whole jar. "Farine" sports a WL cartoon identical...

There is an extra of LM and an unhighlighted extra of GA. The highlights accent parts of the picture and the capital letters in the title. I have searched the web for further members of this set, with no luck yet. Might these be less good than knife-rests with a level center?
