Abstract

en_US
This French edition, which does not acknowledge its artist, uses the same plates that can be found in two Italian editions of La Fontaine listed under 1960/76 and 1960/80, both by AMZ. There are, however, only eleven illustrations here as against twenty-six full-page and several partial-page illustrations in the former and seventeen full-page and several partial-page illustrations in the latter. The first six pictures here occur on the left-hand page, and the latter five on the right hand. Two fables are added as page-fillers; they have no full-page illustrations. The second, DS, has a single black-and-white image of a disgruntled dog that closes the book. There are a number of these humorous black-and-white designs, done in a film-cartoon style. GA is still a favorite of mine in this collection of images! As I mention a propos of the other editions, there are good faces too on the fox looking at the grapes and struggling with the stork's vase. The front cover's laminated covering is striated with ripples over the picture of The Ant and the Pigeon.
