The complete set originally consisted of 12 color plates, one for each month of the year, accompanied by an illustrated folder. Incomplete copy comprising the folder and only 5 of the 12 required plates. Each plate features, on the front, a humorous color scene by Sempé, depicting the different ways of “catching a cold” throughout the seasons; the reverse side features a monthly calendar for 1957 and an advertisement for the pharmaceutical products of Laboratoires Le Brun: Eucalyptine Le Brun, Eucalyptine-Penicillin, Pancalcion, Isoniazid-Eucalyptol, Mictasol, etc. An interesting advertising piece from Sempé’s early career, part of his first collaboration with Laboratoires Le Brun for this series.

Seven of the twelve plates are missing.
