1951 Receipt for purchase of Chocolat-Menier. February 13, 1951. 44,214 Francs. Richard LeFranc in Avignon. Sold by Chocolat-Menier in Paris. €10 from kam-oulox through Ebay, March, '22.
The verso presents a child and many of La Fontaine's animals and urges the collecting of Menier's colored images of the fables of La Fontaine. Might Monsieur LeFranc in 1951 have dreamed that someone in 2022 would value the receipt he received for paying 44,000 Francs for chocolate? And who ever looks at the verso of a receipt?
1996? Rebus postcard. A soccer-player with milk in his hand asks "Retrouvez le title d'une célèbre fable de Jean de la Fontaine." The art bears the mark "Turier." Producteurs de Lait de Picardie, Amiens. Imp. Garet, Breteuil. Postmarked from Amiens, Jan., '97. €3 from Gerard Crucy, Yerres, at the Paris Post Card Exhibition, Jan., '05.
I wish that my French were good enough to put together this title! The verso contains the motto "Le Lait l'Allié du Sportif."
