Ruelle Album

Description

1950? Quelques amis de La Fontaine. Paperbound. Ruelle Chocolate. €100 from Albert van den Bosch, Antwerp, July, '23.

I have fallen in love with this landscape formatted booklet. It is an album completely filled with Ruelle chocolate slips. Each of the 24 pages offers five illustrations for a single fable. They are quite playful and creative! Some of my favorites include the exploded frog; the wolf's challenging fist after the crane has removed the bone from his throat; the owl's view of the bones that were his children; the rat captured in the oyster. I could go on. It is a rare treasure. I had previously put together a random sampling of ten of these cards. How nice to get all 120! 11¾" x 8". I am happy to present them all here!
