Series of 10 numbered postcards, with narrative captions; French child as advocate, poking fun at the legal profession. "This series illustrates an old children's folksong about a lawyer, some hints of gluttony and hostility, but not unlike cautionary children's songs in English, to influence their behavior through bad examples. Except that the bad example here is the act of a lawyer, so not totally innocent or innocuous! It's the kind of children's songs that would be accompanied by gestures."--Donor's description
