Abstract

en_US This book seems to belong to the same series as a book of La Fontaine's fables bought at the same time from the same eBay seller, but there is no mention of the series in this book. Macaya's visual style is very much the same. This book is in better condition and lacks the colorings and pasted-in strips of the La Fontaine book. There is a T of C at the back featuring Samaniego's nine books of 20, 20, 15, 25, 25, 12, 12, 9, and 19 fables. Virtually every fable is illustrated with at least one image. Macaya has a lively cartoon style. Among the best of the illustrations I would rank The Eagle and the Dung-Beetle (17); The Bald Man and the Fly (34); The Eagle and the Crow (62); The Lion and the Ass Hunting (70); The Charlatan and the Rustic (77); LM (96); The Ass and the Wolf (114); GGE (117); CW (127); and Fashion (194). Some images repeat from the other volume by Macaya and even within this volume (e.g., 128 and 137). Some pages are cut too close to or into the text at the bottom of the pages. The endpapers here do not present illustrations. The book's cover is a combination of marbled boards and tape.
