Abstract

en_US Here is the fifth volume of the set of six volumes, published between 1765 and 1775. See my comments on the previous volumes in 1765, 1766, 1768, and 1773. This and the sixth volume no longer mention an editor on the title-page. This volume contains only a T of C before it begins with The Untrustworthy Depositor, the 170th fable in this work and first in La Fontaine's Book IX. Again, when the fables begin, pagination moves from Roman to Arabic numerals. The pagination skips the full engraved plates, which are not printed on the verso. These full-page illustrations are again presented in frames similar to those one would find around Oudry's work. Almost every fable receives three illustrations: a full-page engraving, a headpiece, and a tailpiece. Memorable illustrations include: The Cat and the Fox (36); all three illustrations for The Treasure and the Two Men (41); TT (66); and The Rabbits (97). Half-calf over five raised bands on the spine, marbled endpapers, and a page-marking ribbon.
