Abstract

en_US This is a crepe-paper (or rice-paper?) version of the great large paper book I found in the numbered edition ten years ago. This edition has E. Flammarion Éditeur stamped on its cover. The book is extremely fragile, lacks one of its two laces, and has a detached back cover. Though the paper is of a much different consistency, the pages are still double as in that edition. The title-page here is done entirely in black, including the simpler border and seal, while the border and seal there are done in brown. La Fontaine on the title-page here is not sculptured into the paper as it is there. This edition is not numbered, though the inside front-cover still speaks of the limited edition of 350 copies. The images here are proportionally smaller. Most of the colors here are not as strong as they are in the larger paper edition. One illustration seems to have colors as strong here as there: CJ. See my notes there on particularly good images among the fourteen. Bassy #50. Bodemann #373.1. Hobbs #39, where she alone writes of a large paper edition (which I take to be my earlier find in contrast to this edition).
