(Cassell, Petter, and Galpin, 1867)
"I have often wondered if I could lay my hands on some of the early subscription offerings of La Fontaine fables put out in twenty-two parts by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in New York. Each segment cost $.50. Here is one ...

Fables de La Fontaine Illustrées
(Chez Delarue, Libraire, 1848)
"This book looked very familiar, but it did not seem to line up well with the one book I have of La Fontaine from Delarue. I noticed on the last page that it was printed by Mame in Tours. I checked, and Mame in Tours did ...
Fables de Lafontaine: Imagerie d'Épinal: 6me Série, No. 2
(Imagerie d'Épinal Pellerin & Cie,Pellerin & Companie, 1850)
Luckily, I have a copy -- presumably No. 1, since it is unnumbered -- from Pellerin's sixth series. It is uniform in format with this and a companion volume, No. 5 in the sixth series. The particular points of identity ...

Fables de la Fontaine
(Alfred Mame et Fils, 1890)
A beautiful little volume, inscribed in Montreal on both sides of its back cover. See the 1890 edition for comments.
The Fables of Jean de La Fontaine
(Hurst, 1880)
This book is so inexpensive because it is in very poor condition. Its spine is particularly torn and shrivelled. It also has some torn (and uncut?) last pages. If one compares this book with both The Standard Amies Art ...
Fables de J. de la Fontaine
(Bernardin-Béchet et Fils, 1875)
A handy little volume of the complete fables. Good paper. The engravings are nicely done--but most lack sparkle. The best are of the monkey and dolphin (120) and of the miser's hole (135). Identical with the 1870 Urbino ...
Fables of La Fontaine, 3rd ed., Vol. I
(Tappan and Dennet, 1842)
Apparently identical with the fourth edition, which I have. A lovely little pair of books. The notice says that the warm reception of Grandville's illustrations in the 1841 original was expected, but the favor accorded ...
