A charming, humorous box from the "Coucou" series, number 7, published after the Liberation by the Manufacture Française de Surprises Enfantines (Nieppe, Nord). It depicts a French woman in a tricolor dress flirting with an American soldier (wearing an MP helmet), a symbol of the joy of returning to freedom and the Allied presence on French soil. A tender and ironic scene that illustrates the popular spirit and lighthearted humor of the post-war period.
