Abstract

en_US "Recueil de Gravures piquantes et d'Apologues ingénieux pour l'amusement et l'instruction des Enfants. Seconde Livraison." Whew! That was all part of the title! Analysts will want to compare this book with our original Barlow of 1666 and with Barlow's contribution to L'Estrange's "Les Fables d'Esope" of 1714. As it is, this book means that we have four of the five first entrees in Bodemann #187, with only the 1799 Balleu edition lacking. The present book is a particular favorite of mine because it presents Barlow so dramatically, even in imitation. 57 copper plates. The seller opines that this is the third edition of the images, with the second coming in 1714 in Rotterdam. (Bodemann has nothing following the first edition in #74.) Is it perhaps because it is a "Seconde Livraison" that it starts with Fable "LI" and ends with Fable "XCXVII"? The illustration pages are not printed on the verso. The large landscape pages (8¼" x 6¾") allow for the large copperplate illustrations. Good examples are LVIII and LXIX. I am so proud of finding this book. Now to find "Tome Premier"! "An VIII."
