- Abstract
- en_US One cover is loose and the other is missing. The surprise in this complete edition of the fables lies in the illustrations. There are some fifteen illustrations. The advertised portrait of La Fontaine actually occurs twice (frontispiece and v). Of the remaining thirteen illustrations, six by LeRat are on pliable thin paper. The other seven are by various artists on stiff paper, like the portrait on v. I find it hard to make out their names, and I can find none of these names in Bassy, with the possible exception of Millet. There is a T of C at the end of each volume, preceded by a few pages of notes. I suspect that less than diligent care was expended on finding and reproducing illustrations of La Fontaine's fables.
