La Tortue et les deux Canards: Jean de La Fontaine Postcard
Illustration of the Fable of the Tortoise and the Two Ducks by Jean de La Fontaine engraved by Jean-Baptiste Oudry (17 March 1686 – 30 April 1755),a French Rococo painter, engraver, and tapestry designer. In the story, the turtle asks to see the world and the ducks propose a solution. The turtle should bite and hang onto a stick which they will jointly bear aloft. But in her vanity, the turtle cries out "I am the Turtle Queen." But when she opens her turtle beak, she looses her grip and falls to earth. The intended lesson is both a warning to avoid vanity, and an admonishment to find contentment in ones own home.

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
