The Fox and the Grapes, 7" white plate from Sarreguemines · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: The Fox and the Grapes, 7" white plate from Sarreguemines
Description: 1930? 7" white plate from Sarreguemines, France. Inside a 1.5" rim there is a representation of Grandville's FG. The front carries two inscriptions: "Fables de la Fontaine" and "6. Le Renard et les Raisins." The back has a "Digoin" stamp. Two extra exemplars, one of them for $19.95 from my-store-store through Ebay, March, '20.

This is a rather unusual presentation of FG, since the fox is put into the mdist of a crowd. His gestures show dismissiveness. He wears a vest and a cap. Are those dogs and chickens that move away from him, perhaps suspecting his dishonesty?
Date: 1930?
