Title: Heudebert Advertising Handbills
Description: 1935? Three advertising handbills for Heudebert products “Pour avoir de beaux enfants.” Numbered 1, 3, and 4. 11.5" x 8.75". €10 each from a bouquinist, Paris, June, ’25.

Very attractive colored work of 4 to 6 panels carries through the fables. The fourth panel of FS has the fox walking by the work at work on a big pot of food. He leaves his hat on a branch but then, in Panel 5, he is served a tall vase. In the sixth panel he walks away with his hate on his head. Perrette’s daydreams in MM of chasing a fox away from the chickens she has acquired. Then she will buy a big and jump for joy over her acquisition. Not a smart jump! “The Laborer and His Children” carries its message well in just four panels. The last panel has the three sons looking at a tall harvest. Heudebert seems to have offered a wide variety of products. The verso of each handbill here specifies products from normal flour, from refreshing flour, and from anti-diarrheal flour.
