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: 13 Fables
(NAs.n.], 1952)
This is a lovely mid-size format (7¼ x 9½) book of thirteen fables with no identifying information that I can find: nothing about publisher or artist. The numerous illustrations in the text are line drawings with red ...
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 ...
Les plus belles Fables de La Fontaine en relief et en musique
(Editions Luciens AdesLucos: Le Petit Ménestral: Editions Lucien Adés, 1956)
This is a worthy combination of a 33 rpm record and six excellent pop-up scenes. The La Fontaine scenes, presented in landscape format with the fable on the flat surface closest to the reader, are about 90% intact. In ...
Mesék: Második Kiadás
(Új Magyar Könyvkiadó, 1955)
This volume is notable for several reasons. First, it is the first Hungarian book in this collection. Secondly, it presents an unusual collection of colored illustrations at its close, including Barboutau's FC and Monkey ...
Fables de La Fontaine
([P.-C. Lehuby], 1842)
Here is a mysterious book. I have spent some time with it. It sold on eBay with this description: From the 1840s, in the original French, this is a handsome leather bound edition, Fables de La Fontaine, wonderfully ...
De Krekel en de Mier en Andere Fabels van Jean La Fontaine
(A.J.G. Strengholt's Uitgeversmaatschappij N.V., 1945)
Here are twelve of La Fontaine's French text fables with an etching and Dutch comments for each. Each fable follows a four-page rhythm: title, illustration, French text, and Dutch comments. Perhaps the best among the ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Jâques Munroe & Cie., 1841)
Munroe seems to have been quite the active American publisher of French literature. This makes at least the fourth volume I have from that firm. This is a handy student volume. The selection of fables looks complete. ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Garnier FreresGarnier Frères, Libraires, 1885)
This book seems identical with two others for which I guessed a date of 1910. I will include comments on made on them. Here the printer's acknowledgement at the bottom of the final page is Paris.--A. Quantin Imprimeur, ...
J. de La Fontaine: Fables
(Bibliothèque Larousse, 1870)
Two volumes bound together in cloth covers showing a maze pattern. Tome I features ten illustrations that seem to be photographs of Oudry illustrations and the frontispiece portrait of La Fontaine by Rigaud. Tome II has ...
