Chocolat Poulain Gold Background Cards
1910? Four trade cards advertising Chocolat Poulain. H. 217. Gold background. Children pictured in a painted scene from a La Fontaine fable. €20 in St. Ouen, June, '19. "Miser" for €5 from Simon Rodrigues through Ebay, June, '22.
The scenes look familiar, even though they occupy only about 60% of the front of the card. The rest is "Chocolat Poulain: Goutez & Comparez" along with the title and first 25 words or so of the fable, presented in prose. I continue to struggle with the taste that has a male child acting the role of the dying father entrusting his treasured land to his children, or a female child acting the "old woman" here – elsewhere she is a nurse or mother – threatening to give the child to the wolf. The fable of the "travelers" here is the story of seeming to see a ship from afar that turns out, on closer inspection, to be some floating sticks. The verso repeats the beginning lines from the front, complete with a moral.

Chocolat Poulain with Fable-unrelated Images
1920? Two trade cards advertising Chocolat Poulain. "La Lecture" and "Demoiselle." Children pictured -- not in a fable scene -- in the corner of a frame with flowers. Fable text on the verso. €7 each from Simon Rodrigues, June, '19.
These are unusual cards. Why make the image and text on diverse subjects? "The Girl Catches a Butterfly" on the front seems to have no connection with "The Serpent and the File" on the back! What do the two children reading have to do with GGE?
