Abstract
-
en_US
This is a well crafted pamphlet with fifteen fables, each with the left-hand page devoted to La Fontaine's text and the right-hand page to a brightly colored illustration. The latter are somewhere between André Hellé and Épinal Pellerin: not as simple in conception or line as the former, not as elegant as the latter. The black-and-white title-page illustration is signed A. Gaillard, but there is no indication whether Gaillard did the following fifteen colored illustrations. The most active of the illustrations may be TH, which also appears less well done on the front cover. The tortoise is sipping champagne with the bottle lying at his feet, the judge--another hare!--smokes a cigar at the finishing line, and a third hare sits creating either a newspaper headline or a poster. The following illustration of TMCM is also highly active. Inscribed in 1937. The cover is marked A.F. 32. Of course the Album No. 2 marking makes me want to find Album No. 1!
