Le Royal and Chocolat Poulain, Dog and Shadow Card · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: Le Royal and Chocolat Poulain, Dog and Shadow Card
Description: 1896? 1 French card picturing DS in a human scene. Chocolat Poulain. Printer not acknowledged. 4¼" x 2½". St. Ouen, August, '13.

I am not sure I understand the human application of DS here. Has the child sacrificed a toy, or has the man with the cane given up a real child for a toy? A policeman hurries to the scene. I believe I have found Poulain sponsoring four different kinds of fable cards. The verso has the text of La Fontaine's fable and identifies it as such. The style of these two cards seems similar enough to suspect that they are part of a stock set.
Date: 1896?
