Colored French "La Fontaine" Hidden Picture Cards

1950?   Two full-color hidden picture fable cards presenting DW and "The Robbers and the Ass."  "La Fontaine."  $14 from Bertrand Cocq, Calonne Ricouart, France, Sept., '18.  Six more cards from Bertrand for $5 each, all advertising "Chichorée Extra "A la Menagère" from Duroyon & Ramette in Cambrai.  Printed by L. & A. Nisse, in Croix (Nord), Sept., '20.  Ten further cards, including several extras, for €10 from Grenadines Sari, Paris, through eBay.  FC and "Rabbit and Frogs" for €4.66 each from Bernard Majdecki, Dijon, Jan., '22.

Each card has a fable title and "La Fontaine" at the top, a full-length colored image, and a question at the bottom, asking "Where is the wolf?" and "Where is the ass?"  I did not find these easy!  There is nothing on the verso.  Click on the card to see a bigger version and on "Resolved" to see a solution.  This series seems to overlap in its designs with the our "Mono Poeders Monochrome Hidden Picture Cards."  2½" x 4". French apparently knows these cards as "Les Belles Devinettes."
