Stebbing: La Cigale et la Fourmi, 1905
A. Gonin GA, Four cards, 1904
#6 is a remarkable card! I take it that her mode of dress marks the musical girl as a gypsy, while the mother wears a cross around her neck. The photographer caught one of the children at a great moment of crying! Otherwise, if there ever were posed scenes, here they are! Postmarked and dated in handwriting 1905 and 1904, respectively. The Cocq cards are all in very good condition. I am wondering if there are two cards filling in the text between our 3rd card here and the last.
Castell Coch Drawing Room: Animals in the Fables, 1990
My hero in this gathering of fable characters is the frog physician holding a bottle of his elixir in the center of the picture. My, how I would love to get to Castell Coch myself to enjoy the Drawing Room!
FC Cheese Fair La Capelle, 1973
This card is an official souvenir of the festival. The cancellation design is the same as the three-color design on the recto of the card: fox and crow appear to be contending over a round of cheese. Fables show up in many places! I checked the fair out on the web. It looks like just the sort of thing we Wisconsinites would love!

S.I.P. Grasshopper and Ant, 1900
Jean Claval: "L'Aventure Carto,", 1992
Petit Séminaire Flers-de-l'Orne, 1926
The six numbered photographic postcards show the cast at six moments in the presentation, marked by a portion of text from La Fontaine's fable. The scenes show summertime singing, wintertime hunger, pleading for food, declaration by the grasshopper of singing for the pleasure of any listener, rejection by the ant, and "Choeur Final." Blank versoes.
Krylov Bazhenov, The Monkey and the Mirror V 8, 1970
The image for IV 5 gives a clear sense that the three are pulling in different directions (up, down, and sideways); thus at least the former two cancel each other out. The industrious bear is trying to make bowed carriage harnesses in one action; the point is that this sort of work needs patience. Other great images here include the envelope's strong composite image, "The Cat and the Cook" (III 8), and "A Train of Carts" (II 20).

Art247 Crow and Pitcher, 2010
The quality of both painting and photograph are extremely high. As the studio says, "Highest quality." I agree!
Art247 Velasquez Aesop, 2010
The quality of photograph is extremely high. As the studio says, "Highest quality." I agree!
Les Oeuvres Rares, Set of 10, 1920
This shop surprised me as I was on my way elsewhere. I have not seen this set anywhere else. Each scene is differently conceived, with some featuring medallions on the side, others including two scenes or as many as five scenes. The engraving work seems particularly fine. Among the best, I believe, are MSA and "The Child and the Schoolmaster." The latter is flanked by contrasting scenes from FS. Percier conceived the designs, and Girardet executed them.
S.I.P. WL, Set of 4, 1905
Anonymous Ten-Card Photographic Series La Cigale et la Fourmi, 1900
Marin Wool Yarn TH, 1935
Visually attractive and witty cards offering alternative versions of each fable if only "Laines du Marin" had been involved.
Die Grille Künstlerpostkarte No 216, 1930
This an unusual pose and setting for the cicada! Despite the cold weather and her scant clothing, she seems more like a pinup girl than a starving artist! The chromolithographic presentation of color and gestalt is good. The card may be datable by the fact that the recto shares picture and message room, while the entire verso – in German -- is for the addressee and address. This card was never posted.
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"?
The Dog and the Wolf Extra, 1950
The artist brings together red, green, and black effectively in these lively cards. Among the strongest are "Wolf and Horse" (#7), "Bear and Gardener" (#17), and OF (#19). The colors are unfortunately poorly aligned on "Heron" (#14). Now to find the other six (?) cards!
