Abstract

en_US
Bodemann 410. Limited edition of 1965 copies. The woodcuts are done in tans, browns, and blacks (Bodemann here speaks of yellows). A great full-page frontispiece shows a monkey viewing his reflection in water. Good partial-page illustrations introduce each section and book; the best of these may be FS introducing Book I. A very small square acts as tailpiece to almost every section and book; the sole exception seems to occur at the end of Book V. Many pages are uncut. The last 1850 copies, including this one, are done on Papier de Rives. This volume also includes, between the life of Aesop and the dedication to the Dauphin, a portrait of La Fontaine after de Troy.
