Fables et Oeuvres Diverses de J. La Fontaine
(Librairie de Firmin Didot Frères, 1854)
Three quarter sheep with marbled boards, octavo, 555 pages with engraved portrait frontispiece after Hopwood, and an AI. I have a Walckenaer edition of 1839 and another published in 1910. The fables seem complete; they ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Fables adaptées pour les petits à partir de 3 ans avec images adhésives
(PML Éditions: Éditions d'Olympe, 1998)
Originally done, apparently in Italian, by Gruppo EdiCART in Legnano in 1997. There are four verse stories here (though not La Fontaine's own text), for the first of which, FC, there are two pages of text and two almost ...
Fables by La Fontaine
(G.G. Harrap, 1951)
A handy 110-page schoolbook with fifty or so of LaFontaine's fables in their French and fifteen of Oudry's 1783 illustrations, alas very small here. A worthwhile book for taking along to show when there is not much space.
La Fontaine's Fables Now First Translated from the French By Robert Thomson With Elegant Engraved Figures, Vol. I
(Chenu, Libraire-EditeurSold by Chenu, 1806)
One of the stars of my collection, lavishly bound and beautifully illustrated. This octavo boasts full straight-grained red morocco, elegantly tooled, with gilt tops. There is a T of C for this volume at its end. Quinnam ...
La Fontaine's Fables Now First Translated from the French By Robert Thomson With Elegant Engraved Figures, Vol. II
(Chenu, Libraire-Editeur, 1806)
See my comments on Volume I. Now only some pages are blue. Frontispiece is an oval portrait of La Fontaine. Books IV to VI, preceded by A Sketch of Aesop's Life from Croxall and followed by a T of C. Here there are ...

Fables of La Fontaine, 4th ed.
(Sanborn Carter & Bazin,, 1856)
The plates here are those of my sixth edition Tappan and Dennet from 1843, with larger margins and a double line framing each page. See my comments there. I have no idea what Fourth Edition means on the title-page here, ...
La Fontaine's Fables Now First Translated from the French By Robert Thomson, Vols. III-IV
(Chenu, Libraire, 1806)
Compare this book with the latter two of the four volumes in my Chenu edition with multiple illustrations. The setup of the title-page has changed in several ways. There is of course no mention here of Elegant Engraved ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine
(A. DeslinièresÉditées specialement pour les Magasins du bon Marché, 1897)
This is a derivative but lovely book. Its eighty-one gravures from the eighteenth century La Fontaine en Estampes seem to be mostly details from Oudry. That is certainly the case on 9 (DW) and 59 (SS). They suffer only ...
