Cards #2, #3, and #5 show scenes in which two distinctively clad women -- with significant décolletage -- present scenes from TMCM.  In the first, the country woman is pouring wine for the woman in a sophisticated dress.  In the second, both are alarmed by something offstage.  In the third the country woman is bidding the courtly woman adieu.  Each card's front quotes four not necessarily continuous lines from La Fontaine's fable.  There seems to have been a certain fascination with portraying La Fontaine's fables through the relatively new medium of photography.  Are these also exemplars of the French "girly" postcard?  If so, they are quite tame by present-day standards.  This series is consistent with a single card we have from a GA series by S.I.P.
