Title: Jubile
Description: 1920? Twenty-two monochromatic cards depicting fables of La Fontaine. Jubilé: "Garantit la Qualité – Waarborgt de Kwaliteit." Slightly larger than 2" x 3¼". The cards came in corners placed on loose 6¾"x 9¼" album sheets, with titles apparently cropped from the backs of identical cards.

The cards are tan, and the ink is a brownish black. The designs--many of which are signed "P.S."—seem rudimentary to me. There is enough of the scene to understand what is taking place, but little interpretation or wit expressed. The verso contains the Jubilé logo and motto at the top and the title and a moral at the bottom.
Date: 1920?
