This collection has other contributions from Fructine-Vichy. This effort is both cute and well executed. The color work is excellent. We succumb to advertising today. Here in 1913 someone is succumbing to send a cute laxative postcard to a presumed friend! The second copy seems to have been colored in with crayons in a way far less professional than was true of the first copy. This is one of many postcards celebrating aphoristic phrases from La Fontaine's fables.
