Title: Sirop Melangé Pomona
Description: 1953? Sirop Melangé Pomona. Illustrating "The Cat, the Weasel, and the Hare." Art signed L. Ruymen/53. R.C. Verviers, Belgium, Sept., '08.

This syrup tin presents the fable in engaging fashion. The top of the tin has the two disputants before the cat "Grippeminaud, le bon apôtre," seated on top of an inverted bushel-basket. The short sides show the three characters standing or sitting tall. The long sides reveal, in La Fontaine's French and in Walloon, that the cat "gets the two contestants in accord -- by munching on the one and the other."
Date: 1953?
