"La Culture du Fraisier" print (1950)

Whoever's calligraphy graces this cover clearly was the same civil servant designer in charge of 1944's Wartime Home Canning of Fruits & Vegetables, the 1947 update of that booklet (Home Canning of Fruits & Vegetables), and the 1951 Mushroom Collecting for Beginners. All are excellent, simple affairs, very far from the modern, canned, vector sign-maker typesets. Also of note: the cute little berries at bottom right, the wavy red highlight area at bottom, and halftone dots throughout.
