2 Jeux de Patience: Les Fables de La Fontaine, 1950
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
This is perhaps the sturdiest pair of puzzles in the collection. Complete in the box. Jourgin was doing movie posters in 1937. The only other Jouets Veza product I can find is a set of puzzles displaying propeller drive airplanes and jets at Nice's airport. Click on the box to see the two puzzles.
