Abstract

en_US The helpful person at Roe and Moore convinced me that this is a hand-colored Épinal from before the age of chromolithography. Its seven images are breathtaking! I recognize two from having them on Épinal plates. Thus I know now the pictorial source of those later plate images. TH is found on a plate by the Societé Francaise de Porcelaine (http://aesop.creighton.edu/jcupub/societe.htm) and OF is found on a Sologne plate in a series with four other plates bearing Épinal designs not found in this pamphlet (http://aesop.creighton.edu/jcupub/sologne.htm). The other five here include Les Deux Mulets, Le Corbeau Voulant Imiter l'Aigle, Le Loup Devenu Berger, Le Lion Malade et le Renard, and OR. There is a lovely redoing of Le Corbeau Voulant Imiter l'Aigle on the front cover. The back cover has a wooden trellis framing the page with various creatures in or on the frame. The pamphlet adds one pictureless fable before (DLS) and one after (BF) the seven illustrated fables. This is one of the treasures of this collection! 7¼ x 10. I can find it in neither Bodemann nor Bassy.
