Description

1958 "La Cigale et la Fourmi." Compagnies d'Assurances Générales, Paris. 8¼" x 5". Sofoga. $7 from Bertrand Cocq, Calonne Ricouart, France, Sept., '18.

The story of Ga is presented in full color in three quadrants across the top of this lively yellow blotter. The first scene quotes La Fontaine but then the ant consoles the cicada and encourages her to start tomorrow in getting insurance from CAG. A billboard sign advertising insurance from Compagnies d'Assurances Générales helps the ant in the third panel to make her point to a now smiling cicada, and the winter wind seems no longer to be blowing. Though by a new printer, this blotter is consistent with the first two in format.
