Description

1927 "Le Renard & la Cigogne ou la participation Socialiste." Franc Maconnerie? Which journal unknown. $8.24 from LeGrand Ythier, Ouzouer sur Loire, France, through Ebay, July, '20.

From what I can see, this delightful duochrome cartoon presents 1924 – in fact, May 11, 1924 – as a promise of great cooking together between the fox and the stork. "Help me to make the meal, Goupil. I'll leave you a nice little part." I gather that is the voice of the fox Renard. The pot is labeled "power." Then in 1928, the fox makes off with the whole pot. "One part, that is not enough. I take it all." In the meantime, what comes dribbling out of the stork's famous vase is "participation." So "Socialist promises end up being totalitarian"?
