Abstract

en_US This large-format, paperbound, stapled book of 40 pages with no title-page should be considered with the many other cheap La Fontaine editions I have found from the 30's, 40's, and 50's. Two full-colored illustrations are mixed in with duochrome illustrations; those two are The Oyster and the Litigants and The Fox, the Monkey, and the Animals. The latter illustration also provides the full-color front-cover illustration. The duochrome illustrations seem to be either blue or orange. The book has a vinegar-like odor. Urbain Raymond signs each of the illustrations mirror-backwards. The first half of the book has text on the left and illustration on the right. The second half reverses the placement. At the center, without illustration, is MSA. The book provides a good clue to its background on the cover with the initials E.R.T. Is this, as I believe, Editions René Touret? With that description stands No. 1021. See the book I have listed under Recueil des Fables de La Fontaine (Cover: Les belles Fables de la Fontaine) with a guess that it was done in 1936. I notice that two of the full-color illustrations that I mention there are the same as the two that are here. Are they in fact identical? The cover design has De La Fontaine extending to the very bottom of the page.
