Fables of La Fontaine
(Tappan and DennetWilliam A. Coleman, 1841)
I had thought at first that this was an extra -- in very poor condition -- of the apparent first edition. On closer inspection, the year is still that of the first edition, but this is clearly marked Second edition. The ...
Fables of La Fontaine, Vol. II
(Tappan and Dennet, 1841)
As I wrote of the first volume, I had thought at first that this was an extra -- in very poor condition -- of the apparent first edition. On closer inspection, the year is still that of the first edition, but this is ...
Fables of La Fontaine: Two Volumes in One
(Bazin & Ellsworth, 1858)
I am happy to land this stated Fifth Edition of Elizur Wright's work. The only date apparent here is the 1842 on the verso of the title-page, indicating a date of entry into the clerk's office of the district court of the ...
Fables de J. de la Fontaine Illustrées de 120 Gravures
(Bernardin-Béchet, 1868)
Here is Bodemann #341.1, larger and with much more robust illustrations than in the edition of Bernardin-Béchet et Fils (notice the addition there of et Fils, not found on this edition's title-page). There are 432 pages ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(George R. Lockwood, 1870)
This book seems to be inscribed in 1873, and thus I guess at 1870 as a publication date. The book is largely identical with my three Mame editions of this book (1890, 1890/92, and 1890/1901). See my comments there, ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Second
(Armand Aubrée, Éditeur, 1839)
See my comments on the first volume. As pointed out there, this volume's special frontispiece gives the 1839 date. This volume has the same inscriptions: 9.1.24 and March, '44. Among my favorite illustrations are: both ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Belin FrèresBelin Fréres, 1890)
A routine, simple complete edition of La Fontaine's fables in poor to satisfactory condition. AI at the back.
Fables de La Fontaine
(H. Fournier Ainé, 1838)
This edition answers my earlier question What does 'nouvelle edition' mean, since the book was apparently originally published in 1838? Here is the answer: there was an 1838 edition that was not nouvelle (second). I am ...
Fables of La Fontaine, 3rd ed., Vol. II
(Tappan and Dennet, 1842)
Apparently identical with the fourth edition, which I have. A lovely little pair of books. See my comment on Volume I. Twenty-five well executed and well preserved illustrations; it is a shame that they are so small. ...
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 ...
