Les Fables de La Fontaine pour Bebe
(Théodore Lefèvre et Cie., 1886)
This book reproduces another in the collection, but with several changes. It might be several years younger than my other copy. Notice these differences. On the front cover, the publisher's name is inside the frame ...
The Fables of La Fontaine I
(Estes and Lauriat, 1881)
This is the first of two volumes with gold embossed blue-and-white covers in excellent condition. 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)
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, except that this edition ...
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 ...

Les Fables de La Fontaine pour Bebe
(Librairie de Théodore LefèvreThéodore Lefèvre et Cie., 1886)
Here is a beautiful oversized (12½ x 10) book containing twenty-two color plates after Oudry. They really are striking. As the description from Abbey points out, the subtle coloring is very close in appearance to hand ...
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.
