Fables de La Fontaine I
(A Quantin, Imprimeur-Éditeur, 1883)
Great binding and marbled endpapers. T of C for this volume at the end of this volume includes notation of illustrations. Quinnam (71) describes the work this way: An elegant, expensive edition printed on heavy paper ...
Fables de La Fontaine II
(A Quantin, Imprimeur-Éditeur, 1883)
See my comments on the first volume. I now have caught the pattern: every book has six illustrations, the life of La Fontaine contains two, and there is a frontispiece--for the total of seventy-five. Among the best ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Chez Lefèvre, Libraire/Chez Ledentu, Librairie, 1836)
Bodemann #282.2. This smaller version of Lefebvre's publication of 1835 includes only five Johannot illustrations of the thirteen offered there. The five are: Le Berger et la Mer (frontispiece); TB (facing 160); Les ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Edition Taille-Douce, Tome 1
(LeCointe et Pougin; GougetLecointe et Pougin etc.,, 1834)
Bodemann's descriptions, done by Metzner, are helpful. The 245 half-page illustrations of fables in the two volumes are in part after Oudry, but with different interpretations of the figures. Menschen grob in zeitgenössisch ...
Fables de J. de la Fontaine Illustrées de 120 Gravures
(Bernardin-Béchet, 1868)
Here is Bodemann #341.1, larger and with much more robust illustrations than in the edition of Bernardin-Béchet et Fils (notice the addition there of et Fils, not found on this edition's title-page). There are 432 pages ...
Choix de Fables d'Ésope
(Librairie Classique Eugène BelinLibrairie Classique d'Eugène Belin, 1882)
Here is a handy little volume from the late nineteenth century in Paris. First there are forty fables in Greek, each with an epimythium and plenty of footnotes. After that come forty fables of La Fontaine that imitate ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(George R. Lockwood, 1870)
This book seems to be inscribed in 1873, and thus I guess at 1870 as a publication date. The book is largely identical with my three Mame editions of this book (1890, 1890/92, and 1890/1901). See my comments there, ...
La Fontaine. fables choisies pour les enfants
(E. Plon-Nourrit et CiePlon-Nourrit & Cie., 1871)
In cataloguing probable first editions of this book, I noticed a difference in both title-pages and covers. The publisher's name is lacking on the title page of those copies, which I have listed under 1871, while both of ...
Fables de La Fontaine Avec Notes
(Chez Crapelet, 1830)
Bodemann 268.1. This is a small book, about 3 x 4½. As the comment there points out, this is the first edition with Crapelet's notes. The remark there that all the poems are divided up into five-line sections seems ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome II
(Chez Lefèvre, Libraire, 1822)
Bodemann #222.3, Volume Two. This is a new edition of the work first published in 1814 and again in 1818 by Lefèvre, this time--as in 1814--as part of a six-volume Oeuvres de La Fontaine. This seems to be the first edition ...
