Grandville 1838

Title

Grandville 1838

Description

1838? Four hand-colored illustrations of La Fontaine’s fables by J.J. Grandville. 5.6" x 7.6". Unknown source.

A fascinating set of exquisitely colored illustrations. Apparently taped inside protective covers, one of which remains. A fascinating aspect of these hand-colored pages is the way the color seeps through selectively onto the verso of the page. A lovely find!
