- Abstract
- en_US Tome I and Tome II of fables appeared in 1950 and 1951, respectively, and Tome I and Tome II of Contes in 1951. I am including these three volumes of Contes because they are part of the same set of five volumes. Printed on Vélin de Chiffon des Vosges. Metzner says that the illustrations are hand-colored. The pages are collected in a portfolio. The illustrations can be found as frontispiece and facing 16, 51, 62, 95, 110, 127, 138, 155, 166, 183, and 194. These twelve illustrations seem less erotically developed than those of the first two volumes of Contes in this set. There is a reminder between the two title-pages that this edition includes five volumes and that only 2200 copies were printed. The paper in this volume seems sometimes slightly waffled. Did it get wet somewhere?
