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: 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 avec Les Commentaires de Coste, Vol. I
(Chez Billois, Libraire, quai des Augustins, 1810)
I have a copy of this pair of lovely little volumes and even a second copy of the second volume, but all three are in poor condition. Now I have been lucky enough to find a pair in good condition and apparently complete, ...
Fables de La Fontaine avec Les Commentaires de Coste, Tome Second
(Chez Billois, Libraire, quai des Augustins, 1810)
I have two copies of this lovely little volume, but they are in poor condition. Now I have been lucky enough to find this two-volume work in good condition and apparently complete, including, for example, the MM frontispiece ...
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 ...
Fables of La Fontaine with Moving Pictures
(Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1890)
This fragile treasure is disintegrating as I write! It is a lovely find. It includes six operable pictures with a tab at the bottom to make the character(s) move. FS still operates perfectly and is the most complex of ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Imagerie d'Épinal, Pellerin & Cie., 1890)
This large (16½ x 12½) book represents a wonderful find. It brings together the broadsides or posters I have found from Pellerin/Épinal, displayed at http://aesop.creighton.edu/jcupub/newpage47.htm. And so it fills in ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Imagerie d'Épinal, Pellerin & Cie., 1890)
Here is a second copy of this book with loose early pages. This large (16½ x 12½) book represents a wonderful find. It brings together the broadsides or posters I have found from Pellerin/Épinal, displayed at ...
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 ...
