The Wolf and the Crane · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: The Wolf and the Crane
Description: 1890? 1 bronze WC button, .6" in diameter. Paris: Solidaire Bte SGDG, A P & Cie, Paris. $10 from Joyce's Jems at the Dulles International Antiques Show and Sale, April, '97.

Clearly the same scene as the larger Gotbuttons and Goldbarg versions of WC. Thus it is also developed from J.J. Grandville's illustration. The doctor's pan is not so easy to identify here. The stance of the figures is that of Grandville's illustration. The stamped metallic front again seems to have been folded over the back with a self-shank surrounded by the manufacturer information quoted above.
