La Fontaine: Le Lion et le Rat, La Colombe et la Fourmi
(Flammarion, 1978)
This small (5 x 6½) book is most remarkable for Giannini's mix of broad backgrounds and very detailed foregrounds, especially in faces, in his colored artwork. The hunter on 19 is outfitted with crossbow, dagger, sword, ...
Le Lion et le Rat: Collection Fables
(Albo Delmar Import-ExportEdiciones A. Saldaña, 1984)

LaFontaine. fables choisies pour les enfants
(Librairie Plon, 1871)

The Fables of Jean de La Fontaine
(William T. Amies, 1880)
Great cover and binding decoration! 240 fables, without book divisions. Not the original Thornbury edition of 1868, published by Cassell. The illustrations are good but not as good as in the Ten Kate version from Holland ...
Fables de La Fontaine

Fables Choisies, Mises en Vers par J. de la Fontaine. Tome Quatrieme
(François Lacombe, Henri Vincent, 1792)
Bodemann #135.10. She calls it a changed reproduction of an edition going back to 1759 in Paris. See my comments also on the second volume. Of course it is a shame to have only two books out of the set of four. This ...
