Over the years I have come by a number of what seem to be illustrations taken from books. It is difficult but sometimes possible to track down where these came from. Here are the items and a guess at their origin.
BC?
Image 3" x 2". Indecipherable script above the illustration. A copy was apparently used in a Russian translation of Perrault's "Puss in Boots" in 1868. It must have been out there for people to copy.
1875? FC. Illustration 2.3" x 2". Jean Adolphe Valentin Foulquier?
Le Joeur de Flute et les Poissons
This image, 4.3” x 5.8”, is so similar to many French trade cards in style that I have searched long for a similar image. It seems larger than most trade cards and seems to be on normal paper. I see that I paid three euros for it somewhere.
DLS
Paper. 3.8" x 4.4". Meisterdrucke online offers reprints of this work as an undated 19th century color lithograph by "The English School." Again, I seem to remember seeing it as a trade card but cannot place it.
FC
Paper. 4" x 3.3." The fable is so often repeated that I did not expect to find an exact equivalent for this illustration. Online searches in fact did not find this image. Might there be a "T" at the base of the tree?
