2013? 5 card set of photographs presenting WL with animals and a photographed young woman and man. "Procédé au Chloro-Platine." "3142" is on the front of each card. Blue and red coloring. Printed in France. Plus more heavily worn duplicates of Cards 1, 3, 4, and 5. Dated and apparently stamped in 2013. $40 for the set from Bertrand Cocq, Calonne Ricouart, France, Sept., '20.
Each picture in this set plays out in front of the same photographic background of trees at a riverside. At the top of each card is a literal artistic picturing of the animal story, from the lamb's drinking to the arrival of the wolf, to a threatening confrontation, to the lamb's answer, and finally to the forceful dragging off of the lamb. The title serves as a marker between this drawn scene above and the photographic human scene below. Do I understand correctly that she is washing clothes and that he is a hunter? In the last scene, is the woman resisting? This set of photographic postcards is curious for its red and blue coloring. I suspect that the "Chloro-Platine" process advertised has something to do with that coloration. - Date
