Four Matching Cloths of La Fontaine’s Fables

2000?  Four matching cloths of La Fontaine’s Fables from le Musče de la Fontaine.  OF; “The Heron”; TH; and FC.  Pure cotton.  18.5” x 28”.  Le Musče de la Fontaine.  Distributed by Tradilinge.  Unknown source.

These four cloths offer texts in black, central figures in black, and brown background in a very pleasing combination.  What are these cloths meant to do, other than to represent La Fontaine’s fable beautifully?  I learned from investigating these cloths that L'Empereur is a soft, washed rind cheese made with pasteurized cow's milk.
