Title

“Aesop Fables Coloring Set for the Young Artist"

Description

1940? Separated cover of “Aesop Fables Coloring Set for the Young Artist.” Paints and Crayons with Many Pictures to Color. Apparently produced by the American Crayon Company of Sandusky, Ohio. Measurements. Unknown source.

How I would love to know how this large cover – without side flaps – survived! Its illustration style is reminiscent of Milo Winter and Harry Rountree. Both animals are fully dressed. The hare wears glasses, while the tortoise smokes a pipe and has a cane in one hand and an umbrella in the other. I could find no parallels on the web.
