Title

Broadside Reproductions of La Fontaine

Description

1960? Eighteen reproductions of posters done about 1890 by Maison Quantin. The artists include H. Vogel, Gaston Gélibert, Mangonot, Godefroy, Etienne-Maurice-Firmin Bouisset, (Anatole Paul?) Ray, Job (=Jacques Marie Gaston Onfroy de Breville), and Gustave Fraipont. €10 each from Librairie AMK, Marche Dauphine, Saint-Ouen, June, '19.

These reproductions are well done. The seller estimated the date as 1960. Several things have been removed from the original, including the text of the fable, found generally in a box with the original animal characters, and the artist's signature. The range of these illustrations is fuller than in the larger broadsides, and the illustration "behind" the text box is filled in nicely.
