Bright four-color (yellow, green, blue, and orange) work distinguishes these four blotters, each marked clearly "Buvard a Conserver" (blotter to keep). Beneath a large rectangle illustrating a fable from La Fontaine is a smaller rectangle advertising Excel biscuits from Lille, including the logo of a capped country-woman's head within a circle. OF is slightly thinner than the other cards and has smaller margins, especially on its sides. Within the illustration is the series and fable title, "Series D," and an individual number:
27: OF
37: FC
43: FG
44: WC
47: Le Chat, la Belette et le petit Lapin (two copies)
