Fructines-Vichy Laxative Bonbons/Pharmacie Bouchez

1930?  Three colored "hidden picture" trade cards featuring fable titles and pictures with hidden elements.  Fructines-Vichy Delicieux Bonbons.  One extra of "The Spider and the Lark."  $15 from Bertrand Cocq, Calonne Ricouart, France, Sept., '18.  Five more cards and three duplicates, all from Pharmacie Bouchez in Amiens, for €6 from chromosetcollections through Ebay, August, '22.

My attempts to solve these three pleasant cards ended with two of three easy successes and one tougher experience.  Each card front defines what is hidden in its picture.  Thus for WL, we read that the lamb's mother is not far away.  Click on the image to see a larger version and on "solution" to see where I believe the solution lies in each case.
