Bright four-color (yellow, green, blue, and orange) work distinguishes these four blotters, each marked clearly "Buvard a Conserver" (blotter to keep). Beneath a large rectangle illustrating a fable from La Fontaine is a smaller rectangle advertising Excel biscuits from Lille, including the logo of a capped country-woman's head within a circle.
