- Abstract
- en_US Two volumes bound together in cloth covers showing a maze pattern. Tome I features ten illustrations that seem to be photographs of Oudry illustrations and the frontispiece portrait of La Fontaine by Rigaud. Tome II has eight photographs of Oudry illustrations. To my surprise, the Oudry illustrations are printed on both sides of a single page of higher quality paper in the first volume but on both sides of standard paper like all the other pages in the second volume. There are surprises in the history of publishing! Each illustration page includes several key verses from La Fontaine's text. I am surprised that I have not included this text in the collection earlier. It seems to be a standard item. Morel appears in Bodemann under #345.1 as a contributor to the 1869-79 Hetzel edition that featured the art of Eugene Lambert. Ohio is the most specific location I can find for Old Millenium.
