Amicale Philatelique · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: Amicale Philatelique
Description: 1963 Postcard "Jean de La Fontaine, Amicale Philatelique Chateau-Thierry, "Le Chat, la Belette et le Petit Lapin." The cancellation gives the dates of June 22-23, 1963. The stamp is a French stamp worth 55 centimes. $3 from Topical Paradise, May '12.

The same cancellation is used on the back of the card. I am not used to seeing stamps on both sides of a postcard. I wonder if such celebrations were the start of what became the "Fetes Jean de La Fontaine" at Chateau-Thierry. The image on the card, signed by the artist, R. Munier, shows the weasel and the rabbit before the much larger and very malevolent cat.
