Fables de La Fontaine: 13 Fables
(NAs.n.], 1952)
This is a lovely mid-size format (7¼ x 9½) book of thirteen fables with no identifying information that I can find: nothing about publisher or artist. The numerous illustrations in the text are line drawings with red ...
Oeuvres Complètes de Jean de La Fontaine
(Chez Firmin Didot Frères, Fils et Cie, Libraires, 1857)
Here is a heavy 684-page tome that seems to have all of La Fontaine's works, starting with the fables. It is larger than my 1854 Fables et Oeuvres Diverses de J. La Fontaine by the same editor and from the same publisher. ...
La Fontaine: Fables et Oeuvres Choisies
(Ed. PrivatH. Didier, Libraire-Editeur, 1935)
This is a 963-page high school textbook. Its great contribution lies in the documentary black-and-white photographic illustrations. These present a broad range of material, from the cover of Nevelet (1610; Fig. 51) to ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(J. Langlumé et Peltier, 1830)
This may be my smallest complete La Fontaine edition. It measures about 2½ x 4. It includes some twenty fascinating small illustrations, paired up two to a page. The upper frontispiece presents La Fontaine in the ...
Les plus belles Fables de La Fontaine en relief et en musique
(Editions Luciens AdesLucos: Le Petit Ménestral: Editions Lucien Adés, 1956)
This is a worthy combination of a 33 rpm record and six excellent pop-up scenes. The La Fontaine scenes, presented in landscape format with the fable on the flat surface closest to the reader, are about 90% intact. In ...
Mesék: Második Kiadás
(Új Magyar Könyvkiadó, 1955)
This volume is notable for several reasons. First, it is the first Hungarian book in this collection. Secondly, it presents an unusual collection of colored illustrations at its close, including Barboutau's FC and Monkey ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Dupuis, 1965)
I already had found Dupuis' publication of Hausman's work from 2010. When I found this 1965 copy, I presumed that it was the original edition, identical in content. The format of this book is slightly larger, but it turns ...
Fables de La Fontaine avec un nouveau commentaire, Tome Second
(Emler Frères, Libraires, 1828)
The value of these two volumes lies chiefly, I believe, in the twelve aqua-fortis gravures designed by Pierre-Nolasque Bergeret. They often have a medallion inserted within a picture. A list of them, as apparently first ...
Fables de La Fontaine avec un nouveau commentaire, Tome Premier
(Emler Frères, Libraires, 1828)
The value of these two volumes lies chiefly, I believe, in the twelve aqua-fortis gravures designed by Pierre-Nolasque Bergeret. They often have a medallion inserted within a picture. A list of them, as apparently first ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Circonflexe, 1992)
There are twenty-six two-page spreads in this very pleasant landscape-formatted book. In each spread there is a fine piece of watercolor work by Chauveau on the right-hand page. These are simple and surprisingly attractive. ...
