Fables de la Fontaine, Album No. 1
(Imagerie de Pont-à-Mousson, Louis Vagné, Imp.-Édit, 1890?)
This find complements in size and format the copy I found of Album No. 2 in 1999. It pays to keep looking! I had guessed at a date for that book of 1910. I guess 1890 for this book, even though the eBay seller, who ...
Fables de J. de la Fontaine, Nouvelle Édition, 2 volumes in one
(Delarue Libraires-Editeurs,H. Delarue et Companie, 1850?)
I cannot find this work in either Bodemann or Bassy, though Pauquet is mentioned four times in the former and once in the latter for other editions. There is no mention of either Emy or Delarue. 143 and 212 pages for ...
Fables de La Fontaine: A Selection
(MacMillan and Co., 1887)
Here is a textbook from the late nineteenth century. It features seventy-one fables with grammatical observations, vocabulary, and sixty pages of notes. Perhaps the most surprising feature of the book is a section titled ...
Fables de J. de la Fontaine
(Paul Bernardin, 1890?)
This little book exactly matches three others that I have, but they were all published by Bernardin-Béchet et Fils. Their dates are 1869, 1875, and 1885. Those dates have suggested the date of 1890. I presume that ...
Fables of La Fontaine, 6th ed., Vol. II
(Tappan and Dennet, 1843)
A lovely small fancy edition, with marbled boards and gilt on spines. See my comment on Volume I for the surprising changes from the fourth edition. In this volume Party Strife is substituted for The Wives' Secret (8.6) ...
Fables of La Fontaine
(James Miller Publisher,, 1879)
This book uses the same text plates as that published in the same year by Thomas Knox. This book cleans up some of that book's errors noted in my comments there. It adds many full-page unpaginated illustrations after ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome I
(H. Fournier AinéH. Fournier aîné, 1839)
Seems to be exactly the same pages as in the Fournier Ainé printing of a year earlier. See my comments there. There is significant foxing here, and there are problems of a loose spine. But, oh, Grandville's illustrations ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome II
(H. Fournier Ainé, 1839)
Seems to be exactly the same pages as in the Fournier Ainé printing of a year earlier. See my comments there. There is significant foxing here, and there are problems of a loose spine. But, oh, Grandville's illustrations ...
Oeuvres Complete de La Fontaine
(Garnier Frères, 1877)
Here is a serious tome containing all of La Fontaine's works. The work seems closest to Bodemann #135.14, of which I have the first two volumes. Those are the two volumes in that set which contain fables. This edition ...
Fables of La Fontaine, 6th ed., Vol. I
(Tappan and Dennet, 1843)
A lovely small fancy edition, with marbled boards and gilt on spines. It seems at first identical with the fourth edition of the same year, but a closer look reveals a wonderful surprise. Wright replaces the Notice of ...
