Description

1950? School dust jacket "Le Lion et le Moucheron" offert par les Chocolats Fins Menier. Imp. Typo Noisiel. About 7" x 9½". €1 from French Vintage Shop, Paris, through eBay, Feb., '13.

The mosquito almost gets lost in this picture as he flies into the upper left corner of the cover of this "Cahier." The viewer might be more drawn to the rabbit who ruins by while the lion takes a missing swing at the mosquito. On the verso the lion is smiling, perhaps because he has just enjoyed some Menier chocolate. The mosquito seems to be enjoying a chocolate himself as he rests on a mushroom.
