Fetes La Fontaine

I have found two cards in a series produced by and in Château-Thierry for their "Fetes Jean de La Fontaine." Click on either image to see the card enlarged.

 

1960 "Le Lievre et la Tortue." Ville de Château-Thierry. Imp. Du Centre. Comité des Fêtes de Château-Thierry. About 4" x 6". €4 from Jacky Mabilat, Boutigny sur Essonne, Paris Post Card Exhibition, Jan., '05.

This is an active and colorful oversized postcard. Under the dynamic cartoon of TH is a map of a route from Dormans through Château-Thierry to la Ferté S/Jouarre. At the upper left is the seal, I presume, of the Ville de Château-Thierry. The verso is simple and clean.

A very colorful girl in a dirndle-like dress stands with the pot of milk on her head. Behind her is the village, I presume, of Château-Thierry . Under this picture is a map of a route from Dormans through Chateau-Thierry to la Ferté S/Jouarre. The verso is simple and clean.
