Pharmacie Normale

Title

Pharmacie Normale

Description

1890? Two colored trade cards from a series of six, illustrating GA and “The Lion and the Gnat.” Pharmacie Normale. Paris: J. Chèret. $12 each from Bertrand Cocq, Calonne-Ricouart, France, Sept., ’20.

Bertrand tells me that this set is extremely rare and that the other four cards do not illustrate fables. The representation of the lion is regal, but is this a lion? The frozen background in GA sets a good scene. One may need a minute or two to notice the grasshopper’s guitar.
