Fables de La Fontaine
(Nelson Éditeurs,, 1925?)
This book and the circumstances around my getting it are strange. I was wandering through this antiques mall, having found nothing, and found this away from the usual book sources for this incredible price! I would never ...
Fables (pop-up)
(Editions Lucos, 1955?)
Each of six fables receives a double-page in this sideways pop-up book. At the bottom of the flat page is the text of La Fontaine's fable. The star of the book is WL at its center, very well preserved. The wolf is a ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions du Cep, 1945?)
This 24-page pamphlet contains ten fables arranged in an unusual rhythm that alternates two pages of cartoons with two pages of text. The cartoon pages, which show excellent sense of color and form, contain important phrases ...
Marc Chagall: Die 100 Radierungen zu den Fabeln von La Fontaine.
([Salzburger Landessammlungen Rupertinum, 1989)
I first learned of this publication by seeing it in the Victoria and Albert Museum. I tried to purchase it subsequently through Schoenhof's in Cambridge. They came back with the answer that it was not for sale because ...
Jean de La Fontaine: Favole
(Newton Compton editori, 1994)

This is a small (about 3¼ x 5¼) but complete book of La Fontaine's fables. Its unusual feature is its illustrations, printed with a stamp-like quality. The first of these is a full-page frontispiece printed at a ninety ...
Fables de la Fontaine

A beautiful little volume, almost identical with the 1890 and 1892 editions except for small changes on the title page.
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 ...
The Original Fables of La Fontaine
(London: J.M. Dent and Sons/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
Compare with the printing from Portland (1930?). This printing has a lovely cover picture of MM. Tilney receives only F.C. on a less elaborate title page. The illustrations of MM (34, a gem) and of the garret (47) ...
