Abstract

en_US This book is a virtual replica of another that I have listed under the same date and publisher. This copy has the original red leather with raised bands and gilt spine lettering and decoration. On the front cover is the crest of the Lycée de Chateauroux. The printer's acknowledgement at the bottom of the final page has changed from Paris.--A. Quantin et Cie, Imprimeur, 7, rue Saint-Benoit. [1053] to Paris.--Maison Quantin, 7, rue Saint-Benoit. My comments there follow. Full text of the fables. There are several illustrations per book. Most are smaller replications of Grandville; I believe that one can generally start to catch the difference from Grandville by watching how much is included around the edges. Grandville's larger scenes included more detail. Six of the illustrations are simply different from Grandville's: LM (II 12), The Ass and the Dog (IV 5), The Doctors (V 12), MM (VII 10), The Cobbler and the Financier (VIII 2), and The Old Man and the Three Young Men (XI 8). On some I cannot find Staal's signature. All but two of these (IV 5 and V 12) are signed, sometimes along with Staal, by an Emouard. There is an AI at the back.
