- Abstract
- en_US I have a partial copy of a predecessor of this work in poorer condition from 1935. Apparently Flammarion renewed the copyright, refashioned and republished the work after the war in 1950. The cover has changed to show both the heron and the crow with a piece of cheese against a black background. This time the work looks integral and complete, including the transparent papers used to create the book's particular effect. There are now ten silhouette images of fable scenes from La Fontaine, whereas there had been twelve in the earlier publication. Seven of the subjects are the same but their silhouettes are done anew: FC, LM, WC, FG, TH, MM, WL, TT, and The Heron. FS has apparently been developed anew. Dropped have been The Cat and the Monkey; The Weasel, the Hare, and the Cat; and Two Goats. The new scenes have become more complex, and the sampling of seven of them on the back cover shows a greater complexity in the colors used with each. Now several colors are used in one field, e.g. for a sunset. There are colored sheets of translucent paper at the front and back of the pamphlet. One is to cut out sections of these to fill in various portions of the white spaces of each illustration. What a clever idea! The effect, I imagine, is like that of seeing stained glass.
