"La Cigale et La Fourmi" -- Au Bon Marché Advertising Transformation Card

Paris, France: Au Bon Marché, c.1900. A charming c.1900 illustrated advertising card for the famed Parisian department store "Au Bon Marché". Designed as a transformation, the card is titled "La Cigale et La Fourmi" ("The Cicada and the Ant"). When a paper tab at the bottom of the card is pulled, the illustrated scene on the front changes from a summery harvest scene to a wintry cottage scene. Also reveals a Jean de La Fontaine quote at the foot. Measures approx. 6" by 4", modern ownership ink stamp to verso. Very good. Light dust soiling, a couple small points of wear.

Price: $100.00
