Abstract

en_US There are three types of art in this 48-page pamphlet 8 x 11½ in size. There is a large colored cameo on the front (cardboard) cover. Signed Maury, it is a sentimental picture of a child as the milkmaid whose pitcher has broken. Beginning on 3, there is a fable on every one or two pages, and every fable has at least one simple appropriate one-colored design. Among the better designs are those picturing the coachman with the fly on his nose (6), OR (20), The Acorn and the Pumpkin (29), the financier on 35, TT (41), and TMCM (48). Every few pages there is a full page of colored illustration signed J.G; these are, then, certainly the work of J. Gouppy, as acknowledged on the title-page. Each of these eight colored pages combines different irregularly-shaped panels illustrating various fables. The first on 5, e.g., combines The Worker and His Sons, The Ass Carrying Relics, and BF. Two of these pages are placed together at the centerfold of the book. The best of these full-page colored illustrations is perhaps the combination on 38 of WL and The Horse and the Donkey. I chanced to find a used book shop in Chateau Thierry in my few hours there, and they chanced to have one fable book.
