1915? Three dust-jackets, each with an orange duochrome illustration of a La Fontaine fable signed by Paul Giraud. The verso offers tables of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The stapled inside flaps offer the outline of a weekly work plan and a centimeter ruler, respectively. $5 apiece from Mme Denise Debuigne, Rennes, France, Feb., '05. Extra copy for $6 of LM from Bertrand Cocq, Calonne-Ricouart, France, Sept., '21.
Paul Giraud died in 1917. The line figures on these dust-jackets are surprisingly engaging, particularly the tears of the dying laborer's children. I also enjoy the three different emotions suggested by the three faces in MSA. Can one speak of a "cartoon style," and would it appropriately characterize the approach of these three illustrations?
