Famous old fable retold 
in pictures on this 
Toile de Jouy 
La Fontaine’s “The Miller, his Son and 
the Ass” the theme of a unique print 
AMONG the famous Toiles de Jouy executed 
at the end of the 18 th Century there are 
none more charming than those which relate 
in pictures familiar myths and allegories. 
The design for the interesting piece illustrated 
here was taken from one of La Fontaine s im¬ 
mortal fables. The artist—probably J. B. Huet— 
took the dramatic points of the fable of “The 
Miller, his Son and the Ass” and composed them 
charmingly. The design was then printed in 
Oberkampf’s famous manufactory at Jouy. 
Now it has been printed again in France 
for the exclusive use of F. Schumacher & Co. 
in this country. 
This unique print together with others as 
interesting may be seen and purchased through 
your own decorator or upholsterer. In addition 
to prints Schumacher offers many other dis¬ 
tinctive fabrics appropriate for decorating any 
type of room. F. Schumacher & Co., Import¬
