1950? Three French dust-jackets, 9˝" x 7", apparently for a school book, with art signed by Maurice Parent. One advertises "Costes, 36 et 38, Boulevard Richard-Wallace, Puteaux." 25 Francs from Annick Tilly at the Clignancourt flea market, August, '99. The other two lack advertising and present WL, one on green and one on red paper stock. Each for $5 from Mme Denise Debuigne, Rennes, France, Feb., '05.
These dust-jackets are unusual in providing oversized flaps on both sides of the inside, one offering the text of the fable and the other a bust-portrait of and a few lines about Jean de La Fontaine. On the cover of the FS exemplar there is an invitation: "Dear Children" should tell their parents for Christmas to address themselves to Costes. The back covers show a multiplication table nailed to a tree. Around it a crow flies with cheese in its mouth, while a fox runs up underneath. In the foreground are a tortoise and a hare.It is possible that the artist is Maurice Parenti, with the letter " i" on the end of his name.
