Humorous box from the "Cuckoo" series, number 7, published after the Liberation by the Manufacture Française de Surprises Enfantines (Nieppe, Nord). The scene depicts the French rooster triumphantly over the fallen German eagle—a clear symbol of the Allied victory and the fall of the Third Reich. The bright, polychrome print on blue cardboard is typical of patriotic creations produced at the end of the Second World War.
