Book of Fables Illustrated by Facts from Real Life
(T. Nelson and Sons, 1853)
Here is a curious book. It uses exactly the same texts for the same fables in another book by the same author, "Gems from Fable-Land: A Collection of Fables Illustrated by Facts," published in New York in the same year ...
Fables de La Fontaine No. 4
(Olivier-Pinot, Imprimeur Editeur, 1880)
Ironically, this is the book that has pushed me to gather together our books by Pellerin of Épinal. The irony is that this book is technically not by Pellerin. "La Maison Olivier-Pinot" existed in Épinal from 1875 to ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Texte Collationné d'après les Meilleures Éditions
(P. Arnould, 1889)
There is a copy of this fine little book in the collection, but this second copy has one surprising difference that helps to illustrate the book trade -- and a second difference that changes its look on the shelf. The ...
5 Fables de La Fontaine
(Imagerie d'Épinal, Pellerin & Cie., 1895)
This is one of three pamphlets of the same size, all marked "Série Populaire" and all about 5¾" x 8". Each of the other pamphlets has eight fables, while this has only five. A dramatic picture of "The Thieves and the ...
8 Fables de La Fontaine
(Imagerie d'Épinal, Pellerin & Cie., 1895)
This is one of three pamphlets of the same size, all marked "Série Populaire" and all about 5¾" x 8". This pamphlet is internally identical but better printed than "Fables de La Fontaine: 8 Fables Choisies." The cover ...
Fables de La Fontaine: 8 Fables Choisies
(Imagerie d'Épinal, Pellerin & Cie., 1895)
This is one of three pamphlets of the same size, all marked "Série Populaire" and all about 5¾" x 8". This pamphlet has eight fables, with "The Fox and the Bust" pictured and presented on the cover in many colors. As in ...
La Fontaine en Estampes, ou Nouvelle Editions des Fables, Plus Complète Que Les Précédentes
(Nepveu, Libraire, 1821)
This lovely book is in wretched condition but is oh so beautiful. Bodemann has it thirteenth in line in its family, but also notes that the etchings follow Oudry into the details. These 110 illustrations are a half-page ...
Phaedri Augusti Caesaris Liberti Fabularum Aesopiarum Libri Quinque/The Five Books of the Aesopian Fables of Phaedrus, Augustus Caesar's Freedman
(Printed for F.C. & J. Rivington; Longman, Hurst, & Co.; E. Willaims; Baldwin & Co. And G. & W.B. Whittaker, 1823)
The collection already had a copy of the nineteenth edition of 1816. Here is the twentieth edition from seven years later. And it cost exactly 12 cents more! As I wrote of that edition, a special feature of this schoolbook ...
Imagerie Artistique: 20 Fables de La Fontaine
(Maison Quantin, 1889)
This is the second of three copies I have found of this book, a first volume answering two copies I had earlier found of the second volume. The cover has a teacher pointing to one of eleven miniatures of this book's twenty ...
C.D. Cobb & Bros. Advertising Magazine
(C.D. Cobb & Bros. Advertising Magazine, 1881)
This is a curious circular put together apparently by a store with a main location and three branches in Boston and further branches in Westboro and Fitchburg. This 32-page stapled pamphlet combines various advertisements ...
