Remark:
One of the loveliest books I have. The leather, the gilding, and especially the illustrations are first-class. AI on xli (facing a great engraving of the animals at LaFontaine's tomb). Lovely title pages. Unfortunately there are only about eighteen of the spectacular full-page engravings, still with their French titles.
