French Educational Matching Game

1950?    La Fontaine Puzzle Game.  8 cards with three open "hinges" for an additional puzzle piece.  Plus 24 cards matching these images.  Cards 5.7" x 5.3".  Puzzle pieces 2.3" x 1.75". 

I played this game and it is really fun!  The little cards present each several lines from a fable of La Fontaine.  The challenge then is to connect this saying with the fable to which it belongs.  I had to set aside a few until I came to the end!  There is a confirming clue in the match of the tab of the little piece: it matches the picture it belongs to.  One missing piece has been reconstructed, I believe, by a beleaguered parent whose child lamented that one piece was missing!
