1920? One colored card with a circular portrait of La Fontaine on the left and a picture of FC on the right. "Auteurs Celebres" with 84 subjects announced on the picture side, along with the opening line of the fable. One copy adds "Chocolat Félix Potin" on the picture side and verso. It was printed by F. Champenois in Paris. The other copy adds nothing on the picture side but its verso is an advertisement for François Ledouarec, a grocer in Saint-Brieuc.
The card belongs to a series of great French writers, and thus, I suppose, it will always stay as a single in this collection. Perhaps at some point I will be lucky enough to find a Florian card in the set. The Potin card advertises the celebrity photographs and collectable stamps that one finds in 500 gram portions of Potin's chocolate. - Date
