LaFontaine. fables choisies pour les enfants
(Librairie Plon, 1871)
This book, with nice color work and damaged spine, is best compared with two pairs of books catalogued under 1871 and 1871/75 respectively. Like the 1871 copies, it has no indication of publisher on the title page. Like ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
Here is a later printing of a book I found printed in 1992 on a trip to Paris in 1997. In Paris again in 2009 and unsure whether I had this edition, I picked up another copy. This copy, which is printed in Italy rather ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Premier
(Armand Aubrée, Éditeur, 1838)
At first this seemed a second copy of a book I found twelve years ago at Minster Gate and have listed under 1839 (Bodemann #287.3). After closer inspection, I believe that this may be Bodemann #287.1, the first printing ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Deuxième
(Armand Aubrée, Éditeur, 1839)
As I wrote for Volume I (1838?), this volume seemed at first a second copy of a book I found twelve years ago at Minster Gate and have listed under 1839 (Bodemann #287.3). After closer inspection, I believe that this may ...
Fables de la Fontaine dédiées a la Jeunesse
(Chez Gerard Fischer le CadetChez Gerard Fleischer le Cadet, 1802)
This stocky little volume reproduces, one year later, Le Prieur's Paris edition. Here the three volumes (I-VI, VII-IX, X-XII) are bound together with fresh paginations and clear dividing points. As Bodemann (#191.2) ...
Oeuvres Complètes de Jean de La Fontaine
(Chez Firmin Didot Frères, Fils et Cie, Libraires, 1857)
Here is a heavy 684-page tome that seems to have all of La Fontaine's works, starting with the fables. It is larger than my 1854 Fables et Oeuvres Diverses de J. La Fontaine by the same editor and from the same publisher. ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(J. Langlumé et Peltier, 1830)
This may be my smallest complete La Fontaine edition. It measures about 2½ x 4. It includes some twenty fascinating small illustrations, paired up two to a page. The upper frontispiece presents La Fontaine in the ...
Fables (1860): Jean de La Fontaine
(General Books LLC Publication, 1860)
Perhaps copied from the second volume of an 1860 edition by Derby and Jackson, which I have in one volume purchased from First Folio of Buchanan, TN, in June, 1988. Becoming acquainted with this publication has been ...
The Original Fables of La Fontaine
(London: J.M. Dent and Sons/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
Almost identical with my 1913/30? edition. The cover here has a picture (not MM, which appears on the blue 1913/36/38 edition, but the fox and wolf in pails in the well), and the frontispiece picture does not have the ...
The Fables of La Fontaine
(George Bell and Sons, 1881)
This standard-seeming handy-sized edition of the Wright translation of LaFontaine without illustrations turns out to have a wonderful preface dated in 1881. The preface traces the history of Wright's translation. After ...
