“Parejas del Mundo” was published by Naipes Heraclio Fournier, Vitoria, Spain. Animals and people of different lands are to be paired; our cheery seal will soon meet an Eskimo.

Is that a spear, SeƱor Esquimal? I suspect this pair will not become amigos.

    Beautiful! I especially like the seal, maybe because it doesn’t look exactly like a seal. I wonder how common seals are in the Mediterranean or Atlantic coast of Spain.

    i don’t know, senor esquimal seems to have his work cut out for him with that tiny spear…..
    maybe he really wants to serve our seal friend some cubes of cheese or chip some ice for a couple of nice mint juleps?
