ETS Artistiques Parisiennes, "Le Savetier et le Financier.", 1940
Scope and Contents
The Carlson Fable Collection is a gathering of primary fable materials at Reinert Alumni Memorial Library at Creighton University. It grew out of the personal collection of fable materials gathered by Rev. Gregory Carlson, S.J. and was given to the Creighton Libraries in 1996. There are more than 10,000 books and approximately 8,000 artifacts in the collection.
From plates to stamps, from cards to whiskey decanters, from toys to posters, you'll find just about anything you can imagine here. Please explore all that is to offer here in my fables Catalogue of Objects.
This is the largest online catalog of fable related objects on the internet. Many are from Aesop's Fables but you will find La Fontaine, Velazquez and Krylov also represented in this collection.

Abstract
The paper color and the artist signature are the same in this card as in "Le Corbeau et le Renard," but the formatting of the title is different. Are we dealing with one series or two, or perhaps with no series but simply occasional single postcards? The color work is exquisite on this card! It makes me think that we have others in this style, but I cannot find them!
