1971? "No act of Love, however small, is ever wasted. Aesop." K(athy) Davis: Sweet Nothings. Recycled Paper Greetings. Gift of Mary Pat Ryan, July, '86.
Here are two pages of a card sent to Mary Pat by a friend. Mary Pat framed it for me. I am unsure of how the two pages fit with each other: most probably the "Aesop" and "Thank you" sides were #1 and #3 of the four-sided card. The saying raises a question for me: from where in "Aesop" did this saying come? I presume LM. Even more I am asking "In which version of Aesop in English" did this saying appear? It would make a fascinating but wide-ranging project to track all the sings which people attribute to "Aesop"! I have found Kathy Davis on the web and her signature, but I have not found this dear ephemeral card!
1980? Arthur Rackham TH greeting card. 5" x 7". La Jolla, CA: Green Tiger Press. Gift of Ann Findley at Meandaur, June, '93.
Here is the delightful scene showing not only the tortoise and hare but others who witnessed the bet. There is no message inside the card. The publishing information on the back indicates that the same illustration is available as a postcard. Here the image is pasted onto the front of a simple card.
