Chantecler is a play by Edmond Rostand, produced in 1910 in Paris, in which all the characters are birds (plus a few animals). ELD produced this set of cards, issued in colour and in black and white versions. Rostand had had two huge hits (Cyrano de Bergerac and l'Aiglon) but Chantecler was long delayed and not a great success. Though it must be difficult to produce it has been revived several times.
