LaFontaine. fables choisies pour les enfants
(Librairie Plon, 1871)
This book, with nice color work and damaged spine, is best compared with two pairs of books catalogued under 1871 and 1871/75 respectively. Like the 1871 copies, it has no indication of publisher on the title page. Like ...
Oeuvres Complete de La Fontaine
(Garnier Frères, 1877)
Here is a serious tome containing all of La Fontaine's works. The work seems closest to Bodemann #135.14, of which I have the first two volumes. Those are the two volumes in that set which contain fables. This edition ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Alfred Mame et Fils, 1870)
A fine little book with 240 small, very good imitations of Grandville's illustrations. It takes close looking to see how the wood-engraver departs from Grandville. AI at the back. The first illustration is slightly ...
Les Faufes dè J. Lafontaine in Patoès d'Charleroèt
(Imprimerie et Lithographie Aug. PietteImprimerie et lithographie A. Piette, 1872)
The author offers this book as a specimen of the patois of Charleroi, a French city in Belgium. There seem to be here one-hundred-and-one fables from La Fontaine, rendered into rhyming patois verse. The fables are organized ...
Fables de la Fontaine, Tome Premier
(Librairie des Bibliophiles, 1875)
One cover is loose and the other is missing. The surprise in this complete edition of the fables lies in the illustrations. There are some fifteen illustrations. The advertised portrait of La Fontaine actually occurs ...
Fables de la Fontaine, Tome Second
(Librairie des Bibliophiles, 1875)
One cover is loose and the other is missing. The surprise in this complete edition of the fables lies in the illustrations. There are some eleven illustrations. The six thin-papered, pliant illustrations, including the ...
Fables de J. de la Fontaine
(Bernardin-Béchet et Fils, 1875)
A handy little volume of the complete fables. Good paper. The engravings are nicely done--but most lack sparkle. The best are of the monkey and dolphin (120) and of the miser's hole (135). Identical with the 1870 Urbino ...
Fables de J. de la Fontaine
(G. Routledge et filsGeorge Routledge and Son, 1874)
A magnificent edition of engravings I have in editions of 1870, 1875, and 1885, but they are much better done here on far superior paper. They include twenty further engravings, with the full-page engravings done on ...
LaFontaine. fables choisies pour les enfants
(Librairie Plon, 1871)
This is the second of two extra copies, this one in poor condition. At last I have a very good copy of this simply wonderful book! The illustrations' colors are delightful. The best of them may be FM and WC. Boutet de ...
