Fables Original and Selected
(Willoughby & Co., 1842)
This somewhat-the-worse-for-wear book represents a real find on Jerry's part. It uses exactly the same plates as my fancy hand-colored 1842 edition. So it has the same 497 fables from some thirty-two fabulists, named ...
Fables Original and Selected
(Willoughby & Co., 1842)
This undated book has a place between the two editions I already have of this fine work. Its page size is smaller than the hand-painted copy with a date of 1842 on its title-page. It does not have the frames around the ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Edition Illustrée, Vol. II
(Aubert et Cie., 1842)
Here is Volume II of a lovely pair of volumes. They belong, I believe, most appropriately between Bodemann #287.3 and #287.4. It seems that the family of Bodemann #287 is dominated by the illustrations of Jules David. ...

Fables de La Fontaine
([P.-C. Lehuby], 1842)
Here is a mysterious book. I have spent some time with it. It sold on eBay with this description: From the 1840s, in the original French, this is a handsome leather bound edition, Fables de La Fontaine, wonderfully ...
Fables of La Fontaine, 3rd ed., Vol. II
(Tappan and Dennet, 1842)
Apparently identical with the fourth edition, which I have. A lovely little pair of books. See my comment on Volume I. Twenty-five well executed and well preserved illustrations; it is a shame that they are so small. ...
Fables of La Fontaine, 3rd ed., Vol. I
(Tappan and Dennet, 1842)
Apparently identical with the fourth edition, which I have. A lovely little pair of books. The notice says that the warm reception of Grandville's illustrations in the 1841 original was expected, but the favor accorded ...
Aesops Lefnadshändelser
([C.H. des Réaux], 1842)
What a wonderful little gift! This little booklet contains the life of Aesop and nineteen fables. (It is missing 45-6). The special feature consists in the six wonderful colored illustrations from the life of Aesop. ...
Fables Original and Selected by the Most Esteemed European and Oriental Authors
(Willoughby & Co., 1842)
One of the gems in my collection! 497 fables from some thirty-two fabulists, named with their respective fables in the AI on xxix. Forty-eight magnificent hand-colored plates; the list of full-page illustrations (xxxiv) ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(P.-C. Lehuby, 1842)
In 1998, I found an undated sixth printing of this book in relatively poor condition. Now, for less than a third of the price, I have found a good first edition! A little investigating has turned up some information. ...
