Title: Bonnin Hidden Picture Cards
Description: 1950? Four monochrome hidden-picture cards featuring La Fontaine fables from Teinturerie Bonnin in Nantes, France. Light paper with orange coloring. 4” x 2½”. Two are signed by an artist with a name something like “Sluston.” €14.99 from place-nette-nantes on Ebay, August, ’21.

The seller identifies these as ”DLG Benjamin Rabier.” Though they remind one of Rabier’s style, I do not believe they are his work. Three clearly present fables. I am not sure what the commerce of the two fish is meant to relate to in La Fontaine. Two of the puzzle-answers were so easy that I wonder if I am not missing something obvious in the other two, which I find hard. The opening statement on the verso seems clever, but I sense that they are playing with a verb other than “aller.”
