These are high class renditions of Oudry's work on very fine cards slightly larger than 4½" by 6 ½". The printing of the image indents that portion of each card. The verso has title, text, "La Fontaine," and "Edition des Nouvelles Galeries," Nouvelles Galeries seems to have existed in Angers, Saint-Denis, and Besançon. Cards #46 through #50 of the first set and cards #1 through #6 of the second set drop the line at the bottom of the image side: "Edité par les Nouvelles Galeries." One card in the first set (#87) has that phrase and a street address on Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle.
