Set of 30 Gouget Copper Engravings · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: Set of 30 Gouget Copper Engravings
Description: 1834 30 copper engravings by Gouget of Fables of La Fontaine. Plus two duplicates of "The Peasant from the Danube. 9½" x 13". €120 from Alain Cano, Lyon, through Ebay, Feb., '25.

I have enjoyed finding various forms of this set of engravings. These correspond to pages of the two volumes "Fables de La Fontaine: Edition Taille-Douce," published by LeCointe and Pougin. Their quality varies. I especially impressed with "The Spider and the Swallow"; the second illustration for "The Peasant from the Danube"; "The Dog and His Master's Lunch"; and "The Eagle and the Magpie." A real find for €4 a print! The torn left margins suggest that these were once bookpages, probably from the volumes I just mentioned.
