Abstract

en_US Here is a third version of the same work and, by all indications, the earliest. I have it as done in 1978 and 1982. Though this copy bears no date, someone has handwritten in pencil 5-8-55 135 fr. A Wetterwald. I take it that this is perhaps a 1954 edition or thereabouts. This edition has a yellow paper cover featuring the rooster and the fox. The same illustration appears again on 17. The mention of a 4me Série is new, though the #1 fits with the other two versions. (I have the 1982 but not the 1978 version of #2.) The best-colored illustrations in this set include the cover illustration, WL (2), Les Voleurs et l'Ane (10), and Le Cerf se voyant dans l'Eau (23). I will include several comments I made about the later volumes. This 32-page booklet offers seventeen well-chosen fables of La Fontaine. The first fable, GA, is illustrated with a black-and-white tableau; the last, La Guenon, le Singe & la Noix, has an inky black-and-white illustration. The fifteen in between have each a strong full-page colored illustration typical of Epinal work, with large areas of bright simple colors. I take it that these are all reprints by Epinal of an earlier work of its own.
