Fables de la Fontaine 1 and Fables de la Fontaine 3

Abstract

The existence of this medium was unknown to me until I found these two specimens. Each card provides ten stereoptic views. The first card has two views each of The Grasshopper and the Ant, The Lion and the Mouse, The Wolf and the Lamb, The Fox and the Stork, and The Milkmaid. The second features ";The Cat, the Hare, and the Weasel" (three scenes); The Fox and the Grapes (one scene); and two scenes each of The Talkative Tortoise, The Wolf and the Crane, and The Fox and the Crow.
