Abstract

en_US Here is the first of three compact (3⅞" x 5⅝") volumes boxed. This purchase was a random find on eBay of something I had not known existed. The illustrations in each volume consist of a strong black-and-white illustration on the paperbound cover and duochrome endpieces about every three or four fables during the volume. The cover illustration here is of FS. The endpieces repeat for various fables. For example, one design on 28 and 74 works for FS, FC, and FG. Clever planning by the artist! The same endpiece designed for WL is used again -- well -- for "The Wolf and the Little Sheep" (77). One design serves for TMCM and for "The Rat and the Old Cat" (84). On 55, we have a good design for "The Lion and Ass Hunting Together," and on 32 for OR; for the latter it is particularly well done. There is a T of C on 93-94. The last design in this first volume is "J.F." Might that be Jean de La Fontaine? Or perhaps the first initials of Perot? I cannot find any other reference to this artist. Not in Bodemann.
