A rosy-cheeked blonde girl concentrates with quiet pride as she re-canes a rush-seated chair, while a dark-haired boy behind her cups his hands and calls out her trade — "Je suis le rempailleur et raccommodeur de porcelaine" — in this delightful mid-century French illustrated card by the artist Roby, part of a charming series depicting children playing at traditional artisan trades. The sign above reads Travail à Façon ("Work to Order"), evoking the itinerant craftspeople who once worked the streets and courtyards of French provincial towns, mending chairs and crockery for housewives who would lean from windows at the sound of their cries. Roby's style — bold, rounded figures with vivid flat colour and a warm, slightly naive charm — was widely published in France in the 1940s–1950s and is keenly collected today. Published by CFA Paris (marque déposée), printed in France, series number 620. Unused, with a small vertical crease to the back but a bright, clean front.
