Here is a 48-page pamphlet in good condition. The cover shows The Rabbit and the Teal. The title-page has a black-and-white design of a kangaroo. The text itself then offers fifteen handcolored plates. They are only ...

Perhaps the best feature of this book is the extensive French-German dictionary, including both difficult words and idioms. It is on 137-194. Otherwise it is a straightforward presentation of six books of fables, with ...

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 ...

Here is a handy little volume that could be a distinct help the next time I work with Florian. There are 34 pages of texts and commentary, followed by an unpaginated 36-page vocabulary. The notes beginning on 24 are ...

Bodemann has a listing (#313.1) that is very close. It seems to describe this book but ascribes it to Henry for the texts and Fernique & Cie for the lithographs. The publisher listed here is Belin-Leprieur et Morizot, ...
