- Abstract
- en_US This book is a copy of one already in the collection, bought 23 years earlier for three times the price. I keep this copy in the collection for one simple reason: the spine is formatted differently in a copy otherwise 100% identical, right down to the three-quarter Morocco, with marbled boards. I doubt that the publisher, Furne, was binding books. But did the publisher add instructions for the binder? Even the printer's designs surrounding text on the spine are similar but not the same. Bassy 37t. Bassy praises the editor's job in putting together the eight plates by Johannot with four by Moreau le Jeune (for I, 22; II, 9; VI, 13; and VII, 10). For me, the best of the illustrations are "Les Femmes et le Secret" (200), "Le Mari, la Femme et le Voleur" (253), and "Le Th├®sauriseur et le Singe" (314). Johannot sometimes may tend to be a little precious. There is also a frontispiece portrait of La Fontaine, the artist for which is not indicated.
