Fables de La Fontaine
(Imagerie d'Épinal, Pellerin & Cie., 1890)
Here is a slightly different copy of a book I have listed already. Like it, this exemplar is large (16½ x 12½). Like the hardbound version, this softbound copy brings together the broadsides or posters I have found from ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(J. Tallandier, 1880)
Here is an extra copy with bumped edges. A good comprehensive edition of Oudry, though the printing is not as good as in the Thornbury edition (1875?), where one hundred of Oudry's illustrations appear. This book lacks ...
The Fables of LaFontaine
(J.C. Nimmo and Bain, 1884)
Here is an extra copy in poor to fair condition. Big, impressive, lavish. I had not known of this translator or this artist before. The engravings are ambitious and picturesque but ultimately unsuccessful. The best of ...
fables choisies pour les enfants
(l'école des loisirs, 1871)
Here is an extra copy. 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 ...
Select Fables from La Fontaine
(Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1871)
Here is an extra copy in poor condition. I had not been aware that there was a classic Monvel in English. A real find! Hobbs (108) tells the story that Crane had submitted a fable book to the SPCK, which rejected it and ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Édition annotée a l'usage de la jeunesse
(Theodore Lefevre Éditeurs,Théodore Lefèvre, Éditeur, 1881)
Bodemann #339.1. Bodemann notes there that this volume goes back to an 1867 first Joaust edition. See my comments under 1901? on the later edition of the same book (Bodemann #339.2). Here I will highlight some of the ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Vol. II, avec de nouvelles gravures executées en relief
(Ant. Aug. Renouard, 1811)
See my comments on Vol. I. Enjoy the father's frustration in the background as his daughter rejects yet another suitor (14). MM (25) is dramatic; Bodemann notes that it was done after a work by Moreau. The Oyster and ...
The Fables of La Fontaine I
(Estes and Lauriat, 1881)
Here is an extra copy. This is the first of two volumes with gold embossed blue-and-white covers. It combines the first two volumes of the set of four which I found at Goodspeed's in March, '89, except that this edition ...
The Fables of La Fontaine II
(Estes and Lauriat, 1881)
Here is an extra copy. This is the second of two volumes with gold embossed blue-and-white covers in excellent condition. It combines the final two volumes of the set of four which I found at Goodspeed's in March, '89, ...
Les plus belles Fables de La Fontaine
(L. Martinet: Librairies-Imprimeries Réunies, 1890)
Here is an extra copy in fair condition. Bodemann 368.2. This book is closest to La Fontaine: Fables Choisies (Bodemann 368.3), which I have listed under 1900? Other members of the family include the two volumes of ...
