Abstract

en_US
This is a fine little (4¼ x 6?) book of Florian's fables with a lovely binding of leather and marbled boards. Its special quality is its illustrations (about 2¼ x 1½) in three states, separated by slipsheets. The illustrations include a portrait of Florian; Fable and Truth; The Young Woman and the Bee; The House of Cards; The Good Man and the Treasure; King Alfonse; Amour and His Mother; The Journey; Pan and Fortune; The Guilty Dog; and Jupiter and Minos. The paper used for the first two illustrations -- alone on their pages -- is thicker than that used for the last illustration, since text joins that last illustration. The second illustration seems to fill in background missed in the first sketchy illustration. The third illustration adds the print on the rest of the page. There are five books, an epilogue, and an appendix of twelve fables, with an AI at the back. The lower and outside page edges vary considerably in the course of the book. No. 86 is written opposite the pre-title page, but there is no indication of the size of the edition. There is an extra portrait of Florian in the second state. Not in Bodemann.
