Pan Maltine

1933  Two handbills of La Fontaine fables illustrated by M. Lemainque: 2P and "Le Gland et la Citrouille."  5⅜" x 7⅜".  Printed by Louis Bellenand et Fils, Fontenay-aux-Rises,  Advertisement on verso.  €2.59 each from la fee chinette through Ebay, Sept., '22.

Dragees are candy-like.  Would we call them "dietary supplements" now, 90 years later?  Both of Lemainque's illustrations are pointed and engaging.  The human pots are fun!  There is a clever printer's seal at the top right of the image side of the handbill.
