The Wolf Pleading Against the Fox, 7¼" white bowl from Sarreguemines · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: The Wolf Pleading Against the Fox, 7¼" white bowl from Sarreguemines
Description: 1930? 7¼" white bowl from Sarreguemines, France. 1.5" deep. Inside the bowl there is a brown adaptation of Grandville's "The Wolf Pleading against the Fox." The front carries two inscriptions: "Fables de la Fontaine" and "8. Le Loup Plaidant contre le Renard." The back has the usual Digoin stamp. From an unknown source.

The two characters are again in an outdoor setting but still clearly a court trial. Each raises a paw pleading innocence before the monkey judge. Hats, vests, and trousers again humanize both. The monkey is smart enough to know that there is wrongdoing on both sides.
Date: 1930?
