Description

1879 "Le Meunier, son Fils et l'Ane, d'apres M. Lejeune." L'Illustration Europeenne, November 1, 1879. 9th year, Number 52. Front cover. 10¼" x 14". €10 at Clignancourt, July, '19.

This rendition of MSA seems very familiar. A group of women criticize the adult miller for making his son walk beside his mount. The son is here propped up with a stick. The following page quotes a 16th century version of the fable, concluding with "Ne nous en chaille, mais faisons toujours ce qui'il est bon de faire." The article then asks "Ne trouvez-vous pas cette conclusion superior a celle de La Fontaine?" La Fontaine's miller decides to please himself.
