Abstract

en_US This book is largely internally identical with another, which I have listed under 1950? as Fables de Florian. It was published by Vias, Protin & Vuidar in Spain. This copy has a fox and a dog on its cover, and it acknowledges both Florian and Aesop on the cover. This is a puzzling publication because it combines two books with minimal integration. That minimum lies in the cover that announces both. One opens to Fables de Florian. After a number of pages, there is an abrupt Fables d'Esope. Often enough here, each fable gets its own page. The titles of the fables are done in a a kind of script that seems partially italic and partially handwritten. It also has something against capital letters. Every few pages there is a full-page illustration that uses several colors. I am increasingly sure that I have seen these illustrations before. Most dramatic of the colored illustrations for Florian is the monkey hawking his circus act before the animals. The act will be with the magic lantern. One of the most pleasing illustrations is the full-page polychrome illustration of Renard preaching, with spectacles and all. The Imprimé en Belgique notice stands at the end of both books. The title-page for Fables d'Esope has a hedgehog playing something like a clarinet as he is carried on the back of a rooster. It sometimes happens in either book that an illustration will just precede its story. The book has a canvas binding.
