Fables de La Fontaine I
(A Quantin, Imprimeur-Éditeur, 1883)
Great binding and marbled endpapers. T of C for this volume at the end of this volume includes notation of illustrations. Quinnam (71) describes the work this way: An elegant, expensive edition printed on heavy paper ...
Fables de La Fontaine II
(A Quantin, Imprimeur-Éditeur, 1883)
See my comments on the first volume. I now have caught the pattern: every book has six illustrations, the life of La Fontaine contains two, and there is a frontispiece--for the total of seventy-five. Among the best ...
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, ...
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 ...
Fables de J. de la Fontaine
(Bernardin-Béchet et Fils, 1869)
This little volume is identical, except for its cover, with later volumes I have Urbino in Boston in 1870 and from Bernardin-Béchet et Fils in Paris in 1875. (There may be some small changes in the 1885 printing from the ...
fables choisies pour les enfants
(L'école des loisirs, 1871)
A really classy book, almost worth what I paid for it. I am not sure that any of its pages is apt for a slide, especially since the very small text is always included. Both the original and the copy are very well done. ...
Fables of La Fontaine
(Edward MoxonTappan and Dennet, 1841)
A magnificent pair of volumes! The pagination is exactly the same as in the Derby and Jackson edition (1860) that describes itself as two volumes in one. There is some staining of the pages. The printing of the illustrations ...

(Imprimerie de l'Institut LazarewIzdanīe Andrei͡a Glazunava s Bratʹi͡ami, 1840)
This is an otherwise straightforward presentation of La Fontaine's twelve books of fables with a T of C at the back following La Fontaine's epitaph with a design of its own. The two noteworthy features of the volume are ...
