Abstract

en_US
This is a precious pamphlet of eight pages, 7¼" x 8¾", in only slightly better condition than the companion pamphlet picturing the horse and mule on its cover. On this cover is the colored image of GGE in a circle with the booklet's title above. The first page inside has the text of "The Pig, the Goat, and the Lamb," followed by the beginning of the text for "The Rooster, the Cat, and the Little Mouse." On the two pages facing each other at the center of the pamphlet there are images for both of these texts. The last mentioned fable continues through the next two pages. On the back cover one finds a text for GGE. Does the "48/4" on the front cover suggest that this is a fourth publication in 1948? "Imprimé en Allemagne" is surprising. I took for granted that the pamphlet is post-war. Is someone in Germany a few years after the war publishing French pamphlets? Might one argue for an earlier date, before or during the war? The illustrations are in the family of similar publications made by Bias in the first ten years after World War II. Some key words to follow in tracking these publications are Bias, Gordinne, Liege, Delattre, and Fortin.
