The Fables of La Fontaine: A Critical Edition of the Eighteenth-Century Vocal Settings.
(Pendragon Press, 1986)
My, how fables get around! This book presents a transcription of the music and a translation of the fables as they appeared in 1732. This edition grouped the fables selected from LaFontaine in six volumes. For the fables ...
Fables de la Fontaine Illustrees par Bertall
(Gustave Barba, 1850)
Bodemann #316.1. This unusual publication is a large-formatted 72-page magazine combining all of La Fontaine's fables in two columns with Bertall's twenty-four illustrations. The 1850 date comes from her listing. Do I ...
Jean de LaFontaine: Sechs Fabeln: Ein Bilderbuch von Koser-Michaels
(J.F. Schreiber Verlag, 1965)
Full-color pages are enhanced by having their images picked up in duochrome on facing pages. The text of OF does better than the illustration of the frog's explosion. I find both illustrations for GGE outstanding. FC, ...
A Child's Version of Aesop's Fables
(Ginn & Company Publishers, 1904)
This seems to be an exact reprinting of the 1891 version, of which I have a copy. As I mention there, various people worked on the text, and the illustrations seem to be from Doré, Weir, and a certain F. Myrick (?). Let ...
Fables de La Fontaine avec Les Commentaires de Coste, Vol. I
(Chez Billois, Libraire, quai des Augustins, 1810)
This lovely little pair of volumes seems to be a reprinting of Bodemann #135.11, published in 1802. They are small in size, 3½ x 5½. The illustrations seem to be done after Oudry, though, as the Bodemann comment indicates, ...
Fables de La Fontaine avec Les Commentaires de Coste, Vol. II
(Chez Billois, Libraire, quai des Augustins, 1810)
This lovely little pair of volumes seems to be a reprinting of Bodemann #135.11, published in 1802. They are small in size, 3½ x 5½. The illustrations seem to be done after Oudry, though, as the Bodemann comment indicates, ...
Fables de J. de la Fontaine
(Bernardin-Béchet et Fils, 1885)
A handy little volume of the complete fables. The engravings are very nicely done, but most lack sparkle. The best are of the monkey and dolphin (120) and the miser's hole (135). Identical with Urbino (1870) and ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Librairie de Théodore Lefèvre, 1900)
This book gets the award for the most lavish cover in my collection. The excellent illustrations raise lots of questions. There seem to be two sets: smaller engravings (some marked A.G.) and full-page illustrations ...
Trente-deux Fables de J. de La Fontaine
(Éditions Musy Frères, 1944)
This is a wonderful book! I feel lucky that it has fallen into my hands. Pierre Varenne in his preface speaks of the most French of the poets helping people to forget the gloomy faces of today. Thirty-two artists of this ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(HachetteHatchette, 1958)
Now I have an earlier edition of this book from Hachette that I have already listed with its 1973 printing. See my comments under 1958/73. This printing was done in Monaco in 1961. The book had belonged to a school ...
