Abstract

en_US This book reduplicates three editions that I already have listed under 1897, 1901, and 1907. All three of those have a date on their title-page. This volume is without a date there, but there are two suggestions of a date in the printer's name at the bottom of the last page of advertisements at the back of the book. As I mentioned a propos of the earlier three editions, this book's eighty-one gravures from the eighteenth century La Fontaine en Estampes seem to be mostly details from Oudry. That is certainly the case on 9 (DW) and 59 (SS). They suffer only from their relatively small size of 2.5 x 3.5. To them is added the series of smaller drawings from a fourteenth-century manuscript, either identical with or reproduced from those in Fables Inédites des XIIe, XIIIe et XIVe Siècles et Fables de la Fontaine of 1825 by A.C.M. Robert. The covers are part marble and part leather. AI at the back.
