Abstract

The title-page continues Accompagnées de Notes Explicatives et Précédées d'un Aperçu sur la Fable et le Principaux Fabulistes. Bodemann helps with this edition, which I take to be #303.2. All the data seem to match. The frontispiece of this sturdy book is a sepia presentation of La Fontaine sitting under a tree with a text in his hand. He is flanked by two women, La Fable and La Morale. There are eleven further full-page sepia illustrations. I agree with Metzner in Bodemann that these remind one of Grandville. They are well done. Note particularly DW (23); Le Coche et la Mouche (85); and Le Chartier Embourbé (108). FS incorporates the first phase of the fable in the table-cloth (48). There are many smaller engravings. Though they are generally sketchy, several stand out, like WL (30); The Cat and an Old Rat (63); Le Loup, la Chèvre et le Chevreau (71); and FM (117). Pauquet is at least one of the engravers at work here. Someone has done hand-coloring on a few of these. Fifty-one fables on 156 pages, with a T of C at the back.
