Orsoli Montsouris Anti-German WWI Propaganda Broadside

1917?  "La Fontaine l'avait bien dit!..."  "Dessins de Louis Morin."  Paris: Imprimerie Montsouris, P. Orsoni, directeur."  Essay by Georges Blondel on the verso.  21½" x 14½.  Perhaps €15, perhaps in St.-Ouen. 

A fascinating piece of work with verses taken or adapted from La Fontaine's fables and applied to the Germans in WWI.  I can find another product of "Imprimerie de Montsouris P. Orsoni" on the web, dated 1916.  The imagery here is sometimes rough but thoroughly challenging!
