Abstract

en_US I first found this book twenty-two years ago. That copy had a companion second volume, as this one does not. It remains a favorite of mine, and I found this copy at the stall of a favorite seller who is both a Seine Buchinist and a St. Ouen flea-market seller. In keeping with the policy of including in the collection second copies that are numbered, I will include this copy, even though I am unsure of its marking. I believe that HC indicates hors concours or outside the numbered set, but there is an additional marking like a w in an at sign: @. Publisher's signature perhaps? I will include remarks from the first copy. One can simply enjoy the color and composition of illustrations like the frontispiece or 107. In other eye-catching illustrations, the fox rolls away the cheese (6), the rats hold a meeting (51), the man on the sponge-laden ass spouts water (66), the girl trims the lion's nails (127), the long serpent bites the file (203), and the bear sniffs one companion (211). Perhaps two-thirds of the fables are either illustrated or decorated. Bodemann #429. I find no reference to this work in Bassy, Hobbs, Quinnam, or Lindseth.
