Title

Postal souvenir of the 400th anniversary of the birth of Jean de La Fontaine

Description

2021 Postal souvenir of the 400th anniversary of the birth of Jean de La Fontaine, together with a smaller gummed scene including two stamps featured on the postal souvenir page. Those stamps are perforated sections to be removed from the surrounding image. $25.35 from empirefondation1965 through Ebay, July, '21.

The two stamps picture La Fontaine's home in Chateau-Thierry and a lovely rendition of the frog about to explode before the ox. There is a first day cancellation covering both stamps. Unfortunately the two items are presently pasted to each other. The larger card features BC and a biographical account of La Fontaine.
