Abstract

en_US This is a beautiful oversized (9½ x 12¼) book containing seven full-page colored Oudry illustrations. The illustrations here are OF, The Crow Wanting to Imitate the Eagle, MSA, The Monkey and the Cat, The Fox and the Bust, The Acorn and the Pumpkin, and TMCM. The cover's WL illustration makes for a total of eight. It is fascinating to compare the coloring of Oudry's work here with that in Diane de Selliers' quite different 1992 colored edition of Oudry's La Fontaine. The texts are here well coordinated so that each stands across the page from its illustration. Staple and paper spine. Sixteen pages. I am guessing that Guérin took over sole ownership of what had been before about 1901 a partnership with Théodore Lefèvre. There is nothing here except texts and titled illustrations. The only bibliographical information is on the front cover.
