Abstract
en_US This is an improved and slightly expanded copy of another book in the collection, both showing 1930 in their colophon. This copy is inscribed in 1932. The expansion consists in an extra page before the title-page. This page includes the T of C on its verso. And the book's final page includes advertisements for nine, not six, of Benjamin Rabier's books. The books share the same colophon on 64. Like the other copy, this work includes several full-page colored illustrations by Jules David. As I wrote there, this book represents a curiosity. It stands, as it were, halfway between the 1930 edition, with which it shares the cover picture by C. Hirlemann and colophon at the end acknowledging printing in 1930 by Paul Dupont in Clichy, and the 1926 first edition. With the latter, it shares the pages of advertising including mention, in both places, of the work of Benjamin Rabier. The front cover shows La Fontaine observing a number of different animals, birds, fish, a stagecoach, and even one resting human. La Fontaine is seated at an oversized urn, on top of which the hard-working fly wipes his brow after he has brought the stagecoach to the brim of the hill.
