One extra of "The Spider and the Lark." $15 from Bertrand Cocq, Calonne Ricouart, France, Sept., '18.

My attempts to solve these three pleasant cards ended with two of three easy successes and one tougher experience. Each card front defines what is hidden in its picture. Thus for WL, we read that the lamb's mother is not far away. Click on the image to see a larger version and on "solution" to see where I believe the solution lies in each case.
