6.  Pierre Belvès.  Le football: Une frise à colorier [Football: A Frieze for Coloring].  Paris: Flammarion, 1946.

Belvès designed a different kind of coloring book from those of Guertik. Like her, he prefered figures against a colored background to schematic black outlines on white. But he introduced an element of dynamism by using the panorama format. Each pamphlet opens up to a double-page spread (a) then to a four-panel frieze (b) that could be displayed on a wall after it was colored.
