M3611: The Old Tales (Les Vieilles Histoires), Cover-Frontispiece
PrintsThe phrase “Les Vieilles Histoires” is printed at top left above a drawing of a man in a top hat who holds a chain attached to a ring in the nose of a bear. Both the text and image are printed in olive green. Lines of smaller text in French appear to the left of the man’s hat and again in the lower right corner near his feet. The man is in profile walking to the right and carries a parcel under his left arm. The bear has a muzzle with straps that go over his forehead and around his snout. In the background, boats sail in a river under a bridge.
