Abstract
-
en_US
This is a small (3 x 4½) but plump book with appropriately small print on its 376 pages. The AI at the back is followed by four pages of advertisements. This book's special feature lies in the ten pages of engravings inserted between text pages, each with its own protective slip-sheet attached to the page of illustrations. The engravings measure about 1¼ x 1¾ each and come two to a page. The first of them, half the frontispiece, shows La Fontaine sitting in front of his home in Chateau-Thierry watching the fox and crow! At 37 we have SS and LM. At 58 we find Aesop watching the scene of The Cat and the Old Rat. Further images occur at 77, 117, 138, 151, 222, 254, and 272. I find them charming. Not in Bodemann.
