Les Fables de La Fontaine pour Bebe
(Théodore Lefèvre et Cie., 1886)
This book reproduces another in the collection, but with several changes. It might be several years younger than my other copy. Notice these differences. On the front cover, the publisher's name is inside the frame ...
Fables of La Fontaine, Two Volumes in One
(Tappan and Dennet; NY: Willliam A. Colman/London: Edward Moxon, 1841)
My brother John and I parked in front of this shop at almost exactly 6 p.m. to visit another store in Sonoma, which turned out to be closed by then. Upon our return to Chanticleer, they announced that they were closed, ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Furne et Compagnie, 1855)
Lovely engravings, eight by Johannot and four by Moreau le Jeune, besides an unclaimed frontispiece portrait of LaFontaine. Since there is no list of illustrations, let me mention all twelve, with + for the best. ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Édition Illustrée
(Henri Plon; Morizot, 1880)
This book represents a lovely find. I feared, as so often, that I was probably purchasing something that I already had. As so often, I was wrong on that. The book is in the tradition of my two volume set of La Fontaine ...
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 ...
Choix de Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Premier
(Imprimerie de 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, lacks ...
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
(Imagerie d'Épinal, Pellerin & Cie., 1890)
This large (16½ x 12½) book represents a wonderful find. It brings together the broadsides or posters I have found from Pellerin/Épinal, displayed at http://aesop.creighton.edu/jcupub/newpage47.htm. And so it fills in ...
Fables de La Fontaine avec Les Commentaires de Coste, Vol. I
(Chez Billois, Libraire, quai des Augustins, 1810)
This lovely little pair of volumes seems to be a reprinting of Bodemann #135.11, published in 1802. They are small in size, 3½ x 5½. The illustrations seem to be done after Oudry, though, as the Bodemann comment indicates, ...
