Fables de La Fontaine
(Hachette, 1921)
Bodemann describes the book very well (#409) and lists it as ca. 1921. I find no date indicated in this book, but I have no doubt that this is the first edition of a book I have loved for a long time, first through Whitman's ...
Fables de La Fontaine I

(Librairie Garnier Frères, 1930)
With just a few changes, this book reproduces the first edition done by Garnier Frères in 1926; see my comments there. The additions are a front cover by C. Hirlemann, endpapers including the animal figures of Benjamin ...
50 Fables de La Fontaine
(Grasset Jeunesse, 1992)
The finely detailed primitive paintings recommend this book highly. They range from full page illustrations down to single figures taking part of a page. Among the best are those of the two old men asking for death, le ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Flammarion, 1952)
Here is an original of the book I first came to know in its reproduction of 1983. Good monochrome and eight excellent full-page polychrome illustrations. The best of the monochrome illustrations are The Coach and the Fly ...

Here is an extra copy of this book. There are twenty-one fables in this very large-format edition (9¾ x 12¾). There is a T of C at the back. The book has all six full-page illustrations that I know from my two Fables ...
