Villages d'Enfants de France. $77 from Bertrand Cocq, Calonne Ricouart, Sept., '18.

The artist brings together red, green, and black effectively in these lively cards. Among the strongest are "Wolf and Horse" (#7), "Bear and Gardener" (#17), and OF (#19). The colors are unfortunately poorly aligned on "Heron" (#14). Now to find the other six (?) cards!
