Choix de Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Premier
(Imprimerie de Tsoukidji-Tokio, 1894)
This pair of volumes seems almost identical with the pair that I found from Bartleby's in 1991. Closer inspection shows two differences. First, there is a number stamped on the verso of the cover in that edition's first ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Édition annotée a l'usage de la jeunesse
(Theodore Lefevre et Cie Éditeurs,Théodore Lefèvre & Cie, Éditeurs, 1881)
This book is very close to another that I have listed under 1881? I identified it there with Bodemann #339.1. This copy seems identical except for two and possibly three factors. As for similarities, it has the same red ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Garnier FreresGarnier Frères, Libraires, 1864)
Full text of the fables. I find that I have another edition by the same publisher, editor, and artist with more illustrations. See my comments on it under 1910? There I had picked out six images as not in the Grandville ...
Fables Choisies de la Fontaine.
(Vanlinthout et Cie, 1852)
My first book published in Louvain. A cursory examination suggests that almost all of LaFontaine's fables are here. Additional selections include fourteen from Florian, eleven from Abbé Reyre, and nine from others. This ...
Fables of La Fontaine
(Thomas R. Knox & Co., 1879)
A very curious book. Compare it with my 1841 and 1860 editions of Wright's translation that use Grandville as illustrator. The surprises start when Book I's title page comes before the book's title page! The 240 or so ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Edition Illustrée, Vol. II
(Aubert et Cie., 1842)
Here is Volume II of a lovely pair of volumes. They belong, I believe, most appropriately between Bodemann #287.3 and #287.4. It seems that the family of Bodemann #287 is dominated by the illustrations of Jules David. ...

Choix de Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Second
(Tsoukidji-Tokio, 1894)
This is a crepe-paper (or rice-paper?) version of the great large paper book I found in the numbered edition ten years ago. This edition has E. Flammarion Éditeur stamped on its cover. The book is extremely fragile and ...
