Abstract

en_US Pictorial boards, including a cover of a dismayed MM, surrounded by various other fable images. Inscribed from mother to child in 1948. There are 122 fables from La Fontaine and 29 from Florian, all listed in both a T of C for each and an AI for each at the end of the book. This book introduced me again and better to many Grandville illustrations that I had forgotten and to many of his tailpieces that I had not noticed. The engravings are, I believe, done after Grandville. They are darker and less exact here, though they are the same size as the originals. Several Florian fables lack illustrations. Several tailpieces are changed from my 1868 edition. For example, the tailpiece for #38 (80) does not match the original: a servant animal being kicked replaces two riders moving a canon. Similarly the tailpieces on 94 and 100 are different. The tailpiece originally used with GGE is here used with the fowler story on 138 about catching one bird who is attacking another. A nice book in good condition.
