Abstract
Here is the last of these delightful pamphlets. Guyard frequently uses the same basic design: farmer on the left-hand page and hen on the right. The first two pairs of pages correspond almost exactly to each other except that the first pair are done n shadowed silhouette. The hen somehow becomes more endearing as we see her little legs sit on the edge of the nest with boots on. The nest, by the way, is decorated with euro signs! The next two repetitions of the pattern have, first, a putative gold mine inside the hen and, second, a dead hen on her back with legs sticking up in the air. Well done! Changes in the color and size of the typeface add to the effect. A lively introduction to La Fontaine for smaller children. 16 pages. About 5½" x 7½".
