1920?  Jean de La Fontaine portrait card with his signature.  Les Signatures de Personnages Célèbres.    Including an illustration of “The Rat Who Retired from the World.”  $8 from Bertrand Cocq, Calonne-Ricouart, France, Sept., ’20.

The verso has a life of Fontaine.  I am curious about the two letters or symbols that appear after the “De la fontaine” signature, where, by the way, all three capitals are reversed from the present orthography.
