Storck FS · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: Storck FS
Description: 1920? Postcard presenting La Fontaine's FS text beside a colored illustration. A. Storck & Co. Deposé. €6 from ABC de la C.P.A., Lyon, at the Paris Post Card Exhibition, Jan., '05.

The illustration here is unusual in that it has the stork standing on top of the table holding the meal. The elongation of the image helps to reinforce the point of the fable. The fox's legs seem to have become quite human in their pose. The frame of the image includes heads of both principal figures. This card is stamped "Offert par le Grand Bazar de l'Hotel de Ville, Lyon-Terreaux." I guess you could use the card to write home about the glories of this hotel.
