Abstract

en_US Bodemann #316.1. This unusual publication is a large-formatted 72-page magazine combining all of La Fontaine's fables in two columns with Bertall's twenty-four illustrations. The 1850 date comes from her listing. Do I understand correctly from her listing that this work first appeared in four different installments and that it is the first part of a series that included other authors? Bertall is a nom de plume for Charles-Albert d'Arnoux. The illustrations are grouped together--usually in groups of three--on 1, 8-9, 16-17 (L'Ane et le petit Chien is one of the best), 24-25, 32-33 (DS and MM are both clever and well executed), 40-41, 48-49 (Les Poissons et le Cormoran is well done), 60-61. The striking illustration for La Besace appears on the title-page and on 1. There is a T of C at the rear. With its contemporary paper wraps, I am lucky to have found this work in such good condition over a hundred and fifty years later!
