La Fontaine's Fables Now First Translated from the French By Robert Thomson With Elegant Engraved Figures
(Chenu, Libraire-Editeur[G. Doyen, 1806)
Here is a compilation of an edition of the four volumes which I had already found from Michael Hackenburg at Turtle Island. This volume not only pulls the four together into one volume. It is generally a simpler version. ...
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and a Print Before Each Fable
(H. Mozley, 1807)
See my comments on the 1804 edition by the same publisher. By contrast, this book lacks the frontispiece and any title-page vignette; further its title above CJ on 1 (Aesop's Fables) is simpler, and the cuts are much ...
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and a Print Before Each Fable
(Printed for J. Brambles A. Meggitt, and J. Waters, by H. Mozley, Gainsborough,, 1804)
This book seems to be an earlier edition of what Bodemann describes under #107.6. That book has Mozley for a publisher in 1819 in Derby; this book locates him in Gainsborough some fifteen years earlier. The only discrepancy ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Vol. I
(Ledentu, 1800)
I came on a Friday to Clignancourt and found this dealer -- and almost no others -- open for business. The special feature of this pair of small (4 x 7) volumes is the hand-colored illustrations. There are many of them! ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Vol. II
(Ledentu, 1800)
I came on a Friday to Clignancourt and found this dealer -- and almost no others -- open for business. The special feature of this pair of small (4 x 7) volumes is the hand-colored illustrations. There are many of them! ...
Fablier en Vers, a l'Usage de l'Enfance et de la Jeunesse
(Bruyset Ainée et C., 1802)
The T of C at the end gives the basic structure and tells who wrote each fable. There are three books of fables here, with one hundred, one-hundred-and-fourteen, and forty-one fables in them, respectively. That adds up ...
Fabulas de Mr. Florian Traducidas Libremente al Castellano por Don Gaspar Zavala y Zamora y Adornadas con 52 Estampas Finas
(Don Luciano Vallin, 1809)
The first thing one notices about this charming old book is the heavy presence of wormholes. Pages 21-28 are lost, including the five interpaginated, full-page plates that go with them. Though the fables here are divided ...
Fables d'Ésope, Ornées de Cent Huit Figures d'apres Barlow, Tomes Premier et Second
(Chez Gueffier jeuneChez Guefflier jeune, 1801)
This is a landscape-formatted presentation of 107 fables, with two title-pages but just one frontispiece. The frontispiece makes a good comparison point with the frontispiece for Barlow's original 1666 version. The lion ...
Fables de la Fontaine dédiées a la Jeunesse
(Chez Gerard Fischer le CadetChez Gerard Fleischer le Cadet, 1802)
This stocky little volume reproduces, one year later, Le Prieur's Paris edition. Here the three volumes (I-VI, VII-IX, X-XII) are bound together with fresh paginations and clear dividing points. As Bodemann (#191.2) ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(J. Casterman, 1800)
This is a curious little book. I enjoy thoroughly its seventy woodcuts, two to a page, with an indication for each of the page of the fable to which the illustration belongs. Each illustrated fable also has a reference ...
