Abstract

en_US Here is a spectacular addition to the collection! The illustrations here are breathtaking! The illustrations in this volume are: Le Renard et le Buste (3); GA (7); Les deux Mulets (18); FC (31); Le Savetier et le Financier (42); La Mort et le Bûcheron (55); WL (66); Les deux Pigeons (79); Le Laboureur et ses Enfants (90); Le Berger et la Mer (103); TMCM (114); OR (127); Le Coche et la Mouche (138); Le Singe et le Léopard (151); MSA (162); Le Cochet, le Chat, et le Souriceau (175); CJ (186). I cannot praise these detailed half-page colored illustrations highly enough. They are exquisite! My favorite in this set is Le Savetier et le Financier (42). The banker appears only in part through a second-storey window. The shoemaker is front and center. Much of life goes on around them both. Lovely. From the bookdealer's description I take this: 194 pages, en feuillets sous chemise rempliée illustrée et emboîtages crème illustrés. The printing was done by l'Imprimerie Daragnès in Paris. Jean Taricco engraved some 2200 pieces of wood necessary for the reproduction of the aquarelles of Henry LeMarié for these three volumes. Good condition. Beautifully executed!
