Fables Choisies Mises en Vers par J. de la Fontaine: Nouvelle Edition Gravée en taille-douce, Vol. I
(Chez des Lauriers, Md. De Papiers, 1765)
This set of six volumes is one of the treasures of this collection! Apparently one of the causes of the publication was an urge to outdo Oudry's sumptuous edition of 1755-59. Many would say that Fessard succeeded. Metzner ...
Fables Choisies Mises en Vers par J. de la Fontaine: Nouvelle Edition Gravée en taille-douce, Vol. III
(Chez des Lauriers, Md. De Papiers, 1768)
Here is the third volume of the set of six volumes, published between 1765 and 1775. See my comments on the first volumes in 1765 and 1766. This volume contains only a T of C before it begins with The Woodcutter and ...
Fables Choisies Mises en Vers par J. de la Fontaine: Nouvelle Edition Gravée en taille-douce, Vol. II
(Chez des Lauriers, Md. De Papiers, 1766)
Here is the second volume of the set of six volumes, published between 1765 and 1775. See my comments on the first volume in 1765. This volume contains only a brief preface and a T of C before it begins with MSA, the ...
Fables by the Late Mr Gay
(J. Buckland, W. Strahan, et al.Printed for J. Buckland etc.,, 1785)
Here is an apparent later printing of the Buckland, Strahan, et al edition of 1783. It uses, I believe, the same plates used there; they are different from -- and apparently copied from -- the plates used in the edition ...
Select Fables of Esop and Other Fabulists. In Three Books
(John Baskervilleprinted by John Baskervlle [sic] for R. and J. Dodsley,, 1764)
This book is a delightful anomaly. It stands directly between my first edition Dodsley from 1761 and my second edition Dodsley from 1764, which lacks the medallion illustrations. This copy is marked 1764 on the title-page ...
Les Plus Belles Fables Morales de Phedre et de Philelphe; Des Phaedri und Philelphi angenehmste Sinn- und Lehr-reiche Fabeln
(Christian Herold, 1750)
This book is a separate later printing by another publisher of a part of the edition I have titled Esope en belle humeur ou l'elite de ses fables enrichies de figures/Esopus bey der Lust by Johann Christoph Kißner in 1729, ...
Aesop at Court, or the Labyrinthe of Versailles, Delineated in French and English
(Printed by W. Faden for the author,, 1768)
Here is a most unusual book. The Labyrinthe of Versailles is printed as pages 209-51 of a book that puts together two works. The first work is Ethic Amusements by Bellamy. Bickham apparently engraved the pictures after ...
Francisci-Josephi Desbillons Fabulae Aesopiae, Curis Posterioribus Omnes Fere Emendatae: Quibus Accesserunt Plus Quam CLXX Novae
(Typis J. Barbou, 1769)
Here is a fifth edition of Desbillons' Aesopic fables, now comprising fifteen books in one volume. The publisher remains Barbou, as it was for the third edition of 1759. The title of that edition was Francisci-Josephi ...
Francisci-Josephi Desbillons Fabulae Aesopiae, Curis Posterioribus Omnes Fere Emendatae: Quibus Accesserunt Plus Quam CLXX Novae
(typis J. Barbou, 1778)
Here is a well-preserved book announcing itself as the sixth edition of Desbillons' Aesopic fables. I find it very hard to distinguish from the fifth edition of 1769. A random check finds no differences. See my comments ...
Fables Choisies, Mises en Vers par J. de la Fontaine, Tome Troisieme
(Dessaint & Saillant; Durand; Imprimerie de Charles-Antoine Jombert, 1756)
Bodemann #135.1. What a spectacular book! I had not dared to dream that I could find a copy for the collection. Dailey quotes Ray: one of the most ambitious and successful of all illustrated books. The magnificent Oudry ...
