"Run After Fortune" French Postcard

1900?  Postcard "The Man Who Chases Fortune."  F. A. Gorguet.  Braun & Cie 7355.  $7 from HipPostcard, Oct., '24.

Here is a surprising French postcard found in Cluj, Romania.  La Fontaine's long fable ends up saying that Fortune has been sitting in front of your home while you have been chasing her around the world.  Notice the figure chasing off -- after Fortune? -- in the upper right.
