Abstract
Here is a curious addition to the collection: an oversized (10½" x 14¼") paperback pamphlet of 32 pages offering full-sized patterns for embroidered representations of 32 La Fontaine fables. The designs are not complex. The paper is fragile, but the pamphlet is surprisingly well preserved. The cover shows a reflective milkmaid looking down on spilt milk. This is our third acquisition from Mexico. The first two came during a personal visit to Juarez. I could not find this journal on the web, but it did lead me to find an embroiderer's image for FC from the same era!
