Fables de La Fontaine
(H. Fournier Ainé, 1838)
When I noticed that this 1838 edition was up for under $80 for the two volumes, I thought I would take a chance. I got lucky! Getting it has given me a chance to compare -- again -- the 1838 Grandvilles that I have. I ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine pour Bébé
(Théodore Lefèvre et Cie., 1886)
This book is almost identical with a copy I first bought from Abbey Antiquarian in 2000. Now, I have found two other copies, and they have small but fascinating differences. This volume, like the Abbey copy, has the name ...

Imagerie Artistique: 20 Fables de La Fontaine
(Maison Quantin, 1889)
This is the second of three copies I have found of this book, a first volume answering two copies I had earlier found of the second volume. The cover has a teacher pointing to one of eleven miniatures of this book's twenty ...
Imagerie Artistique: 20 Fables de La Fontaine
(Ancienne Maison Quantin, 1891)
Patience has paid off! I had found two copies of the second volume of this series but had never seen the first volume. Here it is! See my comments there. The cover here has a teacher pointing to one of eleven miniaturized ...

Fables of La Fontaine. Vol. II
(Derby and Jackson, 1860)
This pair of volumes repeats, in large part, a lovely single volume I found thirty years ago. The big difference, besides the price, is that that volume really did include illustrations from Grandville. The Grandville ...

Fables de La Fontaine: Édition Illustrée
(Henri Plon; Morizot, 1846)
Of a similar book fifteen years ago, I wrote "This book represents a lovely find." Here is an even lovelier find. I wrote of that edition that it seemed equivalent to Bodemann #287.4 except that it lacked Walckenaer's ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome II
(H. Fournier Ainé, 1839)
I have a copy of this two-volume work in poorer shape. I add this second copy for two reasons. First, it is in good condition, better condition than that pair of volumes. Secondly, I celebrate the triumph of finding ...
