Fables de La Fontaine
(Maison Alfred Mame et Fils, 1910)
I can find no discrepancy between this book and Bodemann #376.1. Bodemann dates to about 1910 her leicht veränderter Nachdruck of the first edition of 1897. For all I can ascertain, this could even be the 1897 original ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Maison Alfred Mame et Fils, 1910)
This book seems very close to the edition I have listed under 1910? and which Bodemann lists as #376.1. It has a plain binding, not the colored picture of the frontispiece that one finds on that copy. On the pre-title-page, ...
The Fables of La Fontaine I
(Estes and Lauriat, 1881)
This is the first of two volumes with gold embossed blue-and-white covers in excellent condition. It combines the first two volumes of the set of four which I found at Goodspeed's in March, '89, except that this edition ...
A Hundred Fables of LaFontaine
(John Lane The Bodley Head, 1900)
After spending $120 for a third printing and then $70 for a second, I have worked my way back to a first printing for much less money. When I earlier reviewed the 1920? printing, I thought that the best of the illustrations ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Édition annotée a l'usage de la jeunesse
(Theodore Lefevre Éditeurs,Théodore Lefèvre, Éditeur, 1881)
Bodemann #339.1. Bodemann notes there that this volume goes back to an 1867 first Joaust edition. See my comments under 1901? on the later edition of the same book (Bodemann #339.2). Here I will highlight some of the ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Librairie illustrée J. Tallandier,, 1880)
A good comprehensive edition of Oudry, though the printing is not as good as in the Thornbury edition (1875?), where one hundred of Oudry's illustrations appear. This book lacks the introductory and appendix material. T ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Édition annotée a l'usage de la jeunesse
(Librairie de Théodore Lefèvre & CieTheodore Lefevre, 1901)
Bodemann #339.2. The special feature of this fragile little volume is the series of nine (hand-colored?) full-page illustrations inserted with slipsheets into the book. They include: L'Enfant et le maitre d'ecole (19), ...
Fables de La Fontaine avec de nouvelles Gravures exécutées en Relief
(Chez Lebigre Frères, Libraires; Barbou, Imprimeur-Libraire, 1836)
There are several remarkable things about this little (3½ x 5¾) paperbound book. First, it has survived 165 years! Secondly, it seems to claim different publishing houses and places of publication between the cover (Paris: ...
A Hundred Fables of LaFontaine (American Edition)
(John Lane The Bodley Head, 1900)
Before placing a bid on this book, I checked but found no record of my having a first edition. Soon after I placed the bid, I found the record. I felt bad since then--until I just checked the book out against the book I ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Alfred Mame et Fils, 1877)
Here is a reprinting of the lovely book I had found from Mame that was published in 1870. This book has a fine gold-embossed red cloth cover. Though the spine is cracked, the interior is in very good condition. As I ...
