E.D.F. Fables de La Fontaine

Editions E.D.F. Fables de La Fontaine

1927? "Le Lion devenu vieux."  G. Klein (?).  Editions E.D.F.  From Linda Kelly, Lincolnshire, UK.    

Highly colorful and unusually designed card.  The characters extend beyond the L-shaped section for the picture.  Longhand presentation of the fable, signed by J. de La Fontaine.  Verso is not written upon at all. 

1927? "Le Renard et les Raisins."  G. Klein (?).  Editions E.D.F.  $2 from Jalilstamps through eBay, May, '06.    

The grapes are presented against a background of multicolored leaves.  The fox's paw and tail extend just slightly into the text section of the card, and the leaves similarly extend out slightly from the L-shaped section reserved for the picture.  The fox sticks out his tongue in longing for the grapes.  Longhand presentation of the fable, signed by J. de La Fontaine.  Verso is not written upon at all. 

1927? "Le Loup et le Cigogne."  G. Klein (?).  Editions E.D.F.  $2 from Jalilstamps through eBay, May, '06.    

Another highly colorful and unusually designed card.  The wolf extends one pay just over the border of the L-shaped section for the picture, and the stork's wing similarly just extends into the text section of the cad.  Longhand presentation of the fable, signed by J. de La Fontaine.  Verso is dated in 1927.
