1900? Set of six mechanical Au Bon Marché La Fontaine cards, 3⅞" x 5⅞" (extended 6"). Printed by Leopold Verger, Paris. €375 for the set from French Antique Collections, July, '22. One extra set a gift of French Antique Collections, July, '22.
The seller offered very helpful information. This set of six comes from the collection of the great grandson of a director of Bon Marché who purchased them new so they were never issued to the public. The six cards are: 1 Le Savatier Et Le Financier; 2 Le Singe Et Le Chat; 3 Les Voleurs Et L'Ane; 4 L'Huitre Et Les Plaideurs; 5 La Cigale Et La Fourmi; 6 La Laitiere Et Le Pot Au Lait. Each card has two views, the second illustrating the moral, with an advertisement for Le Bon Marché on the reverse.
