Title

Receipt for purchase of Chocolat-Menier

Description

1951 Receipt for purchase of Chocolat-Menier. February 13, 1951. 44,214 Francs. Richard LeFranc in Avignon. Sold by Chocolat-Menier in Paris. €10 from kam-oulox through Ebay, March, '22.

The verso presents a child and many of La Fontaine's animals and urges the collecting of Menier's colored images of the fables of La Fontaine. Might Monsieur LeFranc in 1951 have dreamed that someone in 2022 would value the receipt he received for paying 44,000 Francs for chocolate? And who ever looks at the verso of a receipt?
