Fables Choisies Mises en Vers par J. de la Fontaine: Nouvelle Edition Gravée en taille-douce, Vol. I
(Chez des Lauriers, Md. De Papiers, 1765)
This set of six volumes is one of the treasures of this collection! Apparently one of the causes of the publication was an urge to outdo Oudry's sumptuous edition of 1755-59. Many would say that Fessard succeeded. Metzner ...

(Chez des Lauriers, Md. De Papiers, 1768)
Here is the third volume of the set of six volumes, published between 1765 and 1775. See my comments on the first volumes in 1765 and 1766. This volume contains only a T of C before it begins with The Woodcutter and ...

Fables de La Fontaine
(J. Langlumé et Peltier, 1830)
This may be my smallest complete La Fontaine edition. It measures about 2½ x 4. It includes some twenty fascinating small illustrations, paired up two to a page. The upper frontispiece presents La Fontaine in the ...
Fables de La Fontaine 3
(Tormont, 2006)
My hat is off to Tormont. They get more mileage out of their good work than anyone else I know. They had done three different publications out of a set of illustrations by Georgeta Pusztai: a box of five English books, ...

LaFontaine. fables choisies pour les enfants
(Librairie Plon, 1871)
This book, with nice color work and damaged spine, is best compared with two pairs of books catalogued under 1871 and 1871/75 respectively. Like the 1871 copies, it has no indication of publisher on the title page. Like ...

La Fontaine: Fables Choisies
(Editions BiasÉd. Bias, 1959)
I knew I had seen this book before. I did not realize that I had seen it in Greek. That edition was done by I.K. Papadopoulos and Son in Athens, and I guess at a date of 1975. There I speak of forty fables, but this ...
