1900? Complete set of 5 "Cigale" photographic postcards. "Phototypie A. Bergeret & Cie, Nancy." Unnumbered. All sent to Camille Cerras, Cote d'Or, in 1903. $4 each from Bertrand Cocq, Calonne Ricouart, France, Sept., '20.
I have sometimes hesitated to include materials identified simply as "Cigale" since I have wondered if they necessarily refer to La Fontaine's first fable in Book 1. I am happy to accept Bertrand's judgment on this curious set. Is this something of a French "girly" photograph crossing over into a fable category? Can one really play the mandolin in all those different positions? - Date
