French Puzzles with Hexagonal Tiles

1952?  Five La Fontaine puzzles made of numbered tiles.  Four with "solution" images.  €45 from cameleon 1958, Feb., '23.

Here is a different approach to fable puzzles.  Each fable image has a frame with room inside for 23 hexagonal pieces, each numbered on its verso.  All except TMCM have a matching image that can help to solve the puzzle.  I am surprised by the good condition of these puzzles.  The pieces still fit!  FS has a surprising but consistent misalignment.  Other puzzles are FS, CP, and "The Monkey and the Cat."
