Fables de La Fontaine, Nouvelle Edition
(Martial Ardant Frères, 1890?)
This is a small (about 3¼ x 5¼) but complete book of La Fontaine's fables. Its unusual feature is its illustrations, printed with a stamp-like quality. The first of these is a full-page frontispiece printed at a ninety ...

(H. Fournier AinéH. Fournier aîné, 1838)
This second volume follows the pattern set by the first. Its impressions are generally lighter than in the nouvelle edition from Pangloss. A good example of that light impression is in 9.19 (facing 113). Among the best ...

Bassy 37t. Three-quarter Morocco, with marbled boards. Formerly owned by St. Bernard's Seminary Library in Rochester, NY (the library's lending rules are still on the pocket inside the back cover). Bassy praises the ...
Fables de la Fontaine, Tome Premier

One cover is loose and the other is missing. The surprise in this complete edition of the fables lies in the illustrations. There are some fifteen illustrations. The advertised portrait of La Fontaine actually occurs ...

One cover is loose and the other is missing. The surprise in this complete edition of the fables lies in the illustrations. There are some eleven illustrations. The six thin-papered, pliant illustrations, including the ...
