Fables de La Fontaine: Édition annotée a l'usage de la jeunesse
(Theodore Lefevre et Cie Éditeurs,Théodore Lefèvre & Cie, Éditeurs, 1881)
This book is very close to another that I have listed under 1881? I identified it there with Bodemann #339.1. This copy seems identical except for two and possibly three factors. As for similarities, it has the same red ...
Le La Fontaine en Action, Premiere Partie: Grand Exemples Historiques de Courage, de Vertu, de Dévouement et de Sagesse Développant la Morale pratique des Fables de la Fontaine
(Librairie Classique et d'Éducation, Ve Maire-Nyon, A Pigoreau, SuccesseurLibrarie classique et d'éducation, 1880)
Here is a great resource for beleaguered teachers of La Fontaine's fables. For every fable in the first six books there is here an historical example of the fable carried out. The range of available material seems broad, ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Édition Illustrée
(Henri Plon; Morizot, 1880)
This book represents a lovely find. I feared, as so often, that I was probably purchasing something that I already had. As so often, I was wrong on that. The book is in the tradition of my two volume set of La Fontaine ...
The Fables of La Fontaine, Part I
(Cassell, Petter, and Galpin, 1883)
A beautiful edition with a partially missing spine. I picked up this pair of volumes thinking that it was just another Cassell edition of the Thornbury translation. Then I noticed in Hobbs (100) that the first English ...
The Fables of La Fontaine, Part II
(Cassell Petter, and Galpin,, 1883)
See my comments on the first volume of this beautiful set. No title page (or indication on Part I's title page that this is a two-part set). Pagination continues from Part I.
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 ...
The Fables of La Fontaine (Flowered Cover)
(H.M. Caldwell Co., 1881)
Here is an extra copy of this book. This book repeats in all but two respects an edition with the same bibliographical information. First, it has a lovely floral cover, part of which is done against a white leatherette ...
The Fables of LaFontaine
(J.C. Nimmo and Bain, 1884)
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 them is the beautiful gilt cover (also at 229) of ...
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, ...
