1930?  "Proverbes - Série de six sujets chromos.  4. La raison du plus fort est toujours la meilleure."  WL.  $6 from Bertrand Cocq, Nov., '20.

In style, this card seems like Liebig cards.  Scrollwork on the upper left and far right reveals two different scenes of bullying by the stronger.  Apparently the boy is making off with the girl's lunch.  The verso features the text of La Fontaine's WL.
