Fables de La Fontaine

Abstract

This fragile little book containing two volumes is Bodemann #223. It has a lovely frontispiece, which Bodemann reprints, of La Fontaine and Aesop writing under trees. The two authors are identified under the illustration. The title-page has a simple rendition of FC. Those two are the only illustrations in the book. The book is cracked between those two lovely illustrations and is otherwise fragile. I had no idea that I had found an item from Bodemann! Metzner's copy also had the two volumes bound in one book. Red paper covers.
