2021 Souvenir Sheet from Hungary of four stamps commemorating the 400th birth anniversary of Jean de La Fontaine. $4.99 from Siew Lee Wong through Ebay, May, '22.
The artist here offers five strong and even idiosyncratic interpretations of well known fables. Outside of the four stamps themselves there are the fox and crow with a sign commemorating the French fabulist. TMCM and WC seem quite traditional. The grasshopper is having a gay old time while the ant labors. Does the fourth stamp present OF or "The Frogs and the Bulls"? That is, does the right frog demonstrate fear with his arms up, or is he indicating the size of a bull?
