- Abstract
- en_US Bodemann #425. Here is a real treasure! I think I did not realize what I was getting when I bid on this set of books. Each fable has a lovely colored woodcut about a third of a page in size. An early note indicates the woodcut plates were destroyed in the presence of witnesses after the printing of the book. This volume covers Books 9-12. There are again, as in the other two volumes (1930 and 1931), three sets of art work here. Each fable gets a small illustration above its title, done by either Malassis or Money. Among the best of these are Le Mari, la Femme et le Voleur (49); Le Trésor et les deux Hommes (54); Les Deux Aventuriers et le Talisman (119); and Le Singe (243). As Bodemann notes, many of the illustrations move out slightly beyond their rectangular margins. There is also a clever little design between each illustration and its title. A third group of illustrations comprises the decorative compositions of Laprade placed at the beginning of each book. These are light and airy. There is a place-marking ribbon. By contrast with Volume I, this volume has no uncut pages. This volume has at the end an AI of the whole work besides the usual T of C for the individual volume.
