1920? Colored postcard advertising L'Huile de Table des Chartreux through a parody of GA. €15 from Albert van den Bosch, Antwerp, June, '23.
This card challenged this cataloguer because it is both a postcard and an advertisement, a clever advertisement at that! I came down for postcard. The ant asks, as always, what the grasshopper was doing all summer. The answer? "I was eating all sorts of things with L'Huile de Table des Chartreux." The ant's response here: "You were eating? Fine. Now fast." She is hanging onto her bottle of the oil! The artistry is well done, and the color lovely. It looks to me as though there may have been a series of Chartreux advertisements presenting a "fable de la Fontaine accommodée à L'Huile de Table des Chartreux." I would love to find more of them!
1920? Postcard presenting FS. "Fable de la Fontaine accommodée a l'Huile de Table des Chartreux." Artist Raoul Vion. €10 at Paris Post Card Exhibition, Jan., '05.
This very colorful card seems to be roughly in the style of Benjamin Rabier. The colors help to draw attention to the lovely gold of the bottled oil. The advertisement substitutes bottles for the tall vases of the fable. In a small victory for modern technology, I was able to go out and find a Raoul Vion poster on the web. The date of the poster exactly matched the date I had guessed for this postcard! The back, fully filled out in a difficult hand, adds "Inutile de vous dire qu'il n'est pas de bonne cuisine sans Huile de Table des Chartreux."
1982 Three “Fruity Fable” postcards by G.S. Studdy. Reprinted by Camden Graphics, Ltd., London. Printed in England. Copyright Vivienne Kynaston 1982. £11.79 from PostCardFinder, Jan., ’26.
These three come from a series already in this collection under “Prints.” As mentioned there, they first appeared in 1936 in “The Sketch.” How curious, that something done in 1936 would attract reprinters in both England and the USA and, in fact, in different media. As I also mention there, there is a sauciness to the approach taken to the fruits. The language is sometimes so age-bound and colloquial, that I do not know what it means. For example, what might it mean that “Major Radish Trots Out a Few”? That he pays a lot? One card featuring Mr. Spring Onion, is a partial rendition of a design there.
