"Cards" is an overstatement for these 2½" x 3½" slips of paper. On one side is a colored illustration, title, and number. On the verso is the text of the fable and, after #96, an indication that there are two albums to be filled out, Album No. 1 for Fables #1-#96 and Album No. 2 for Fables #97-#192. Of course, the collector in me is already wondering where I can find the two complete albums. The color work is sometimes better than one would expect for a simple effort like these illustrations. Two favorites of mine are "The Robbers and the Ass" (#4) and "The Lark and Her Young" (#76). I am a little surprised that I have not run into a single card from this large set before this time. I am unsure of the reference of the cabbage and pot in "The Untrustworthy Depositary" (#176). Now see a complete album of cards #1 through #96. The second album fills in several of the cards missing among the individual cards. I recommend keeping it with the cards.
