Suchard Series 235 Landscape Cards · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: Suchard Series 235 Landscape Cards
Description: 1910? Four numbered cards from a series of 12 landscape formatted trade cards advertising Suchard products. La Fontaine fables. €30 each from collectomania, Oct., '22.

The verso of each card shows a woman in kerchief with four children and a cat and the notation "Série 235." The front of each card follows a formula including a green or green-and-red rectangular border; a scene of children that overflows the borders of that rectangle; some Suchard product with its name; the title of the La Fontaine fable; and a few verses from the original fable. Some of the illustrations start to become a bit grotesque, particularly WC and "The Bear and the Gardener." We have now #4, 5, 11, and 12. Let's find the other eight!
