La Fontaine: Kurbaga-Fare Dostlugu
(Unlu KitabeviÜnlü Kitabevi, 1992)
There seem to be six stories here. I can recognize The Hare and the Lion from the illustration on 10; at least, I presume that we are dealing here with the Kalila and Dimna story of tricking the tyrant with the image at ...
Lafontaine' den Masallar: Tilki ile Leylek
(Kurtulus YayinlariKurtulus Yayınları, 1991)
This well-preserved pamphlet of 32 pages announces itself well with a fine colored picture on the cover of FS. The colored illustrations continue inside: FS (4); DLS (5); MM (8); FC (12); TH (16); WL (20); MSA (21); TT ...
Fables de Florian, Suivies de Tobie et de Ruth
(J.-J. Dubochet et Cie, 1842)
For some time, I have wanted to get an early Grandville Florian. Here is the earliest! It was a major find for me with an old friend at an impressive international book fair. François Coté describes the qualities of the ...
Fables de La Fontaine I
(La Bonne Compagnie, 1946)
A beautiful find. I am surprised to see the French publishing industry able to do a book like this so soon after the war. The aquarelles are unfortunately almost completely devoid of narrative content; they end up often ...
Fables de La Fontaine II
(La Bonne Compagnie, 1946)
Again, a beautiful find. See my notes on the first volume. My favorite aquarelles here include the bed of the man who finds a louse significant matter to pray over (60), the road over the hill as an image for The Two ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Émile Guérin Éditeur, 1905)
This is a beautiful oversized (9½ x 12¼) book containing seven full-page colored Oudry illustrations. The illustrations here are OF, The Crow Wanting to Imitate the Eagle, MSA, The Monkey and the Cat, The Fox and the Bust, ...
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 ...
Reynard the Fox and Other Fables
(P.F. Volland, 1925)
This book uses the illustrations of the Volland 1918 Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks (see my listing for 1918/24?) and puts them now with prose stories rather than the verse used there. Most fables also get new titles. ...
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, ...
La Fontaine. fables choisies pour les enfants
(E. Plon-Nourrit et CiePlon-Nourrit & Cie., 1871)
In cataloguing probable first editions of this book, I noticed a difference in both title-pages and covers. The publisher's name is lacking on the title page of those copies, which I have listed under 1871, while both of ...
