Pellerin of Épinal Dust-Jackets

1900?   4 Dust jackets ("Couverture Cahier") "Fables de La Fontaine" featuring colored work presentations of individual fables and texts on the back covers.  Perhaps all from Pellerin of Épinal?  €6 each from Chromosetcollections on Ebay, Nov., '20.

I have been unconvinced and then convinced – mostly – that these four dust-jackets were published by Épinal of Pellerin.  They are so much in the style of that firm that I simply presumed that they were the publishers.  Unfortunately, there is no marking on them to indicate the publisher except the symbol on the front of all four jackets:  a coat of arms "P S" and "Propriété des Editeurs."  The least likely to come from Pellerin, it seems to me, is "Le Lion et le Chasseur."
