"The Dissatisfied Cobbler" Movie Poster

Description

1922/80? "The Dissatisfied Cobbler" movie poster. "Fables Pictures, Inc., presents Aesop's Film Fables. Cartoonist: Paul Terry. Pathé Distributors." The original of this poster was released on 2/8/22. Matted and framed. $7.95 from Bob McDaniel, Lima, NY, through Ebay, May, '99.

Cat on treadwheel chases mouse on treadwheel, and that power's a dog-cobbler's rotary machine for working on shoes. Signs on the shop wall say "Shoes left over 10 days belong to me" and "Save your soles -- Walk on your hands." What might this scene have to do with Aesop? There is a signature of "Morgan" in the lower right of the lithograph, though I cannot discern the rest of the logo; I presume Morgan was the printer of the poster.
