Title: S.I.P. Stereo GA
Description: 1900? Complete set of six stereopticon cards by S.I.P. of GA. S.I.P. $48 from Bertrand Cocq, Calonne-Ricouart, France, Sept., '20.

This set starts, unusually for French postcard presentations, with the countryside as the venue for the grasshopper's encounter with an ant. The time is summer. The ant works the soil. The grasshopper is lavishly dressed. And she plays music happily. Suddenly it is winter. With hat in hand, she knocks at the ant's (barn)door. The ant opens, and the grasshopper extends an open hand in request for food. The ant rejects the grasshopper, telling her to go dance.
