Bouillon, Rivoyre et Cie Smaller Cards, 1890
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
Sponsor here is "De la boutique de Peabody" in Salem. The card lacks the usual title above the picture but has it in hardly legible print at the bottom. There is nothing on the verso. Perhaps the greatest strangeness is that I have not found other cards in this size and format. The artist has been clever in integrating the human and animal scenes into the design.
