Abstract

en_US Luckily, I have a copy -- presumably No. 1, since it is unnumbered -- from Pellerin's sixth series. It is uniform in format with this and a companion volume, No. 5 in the sixth series. The particular points of identity between this volume and that presumed No. 1 are the spine stripe declaring Propriété de l'Éditeur (Déposé) and the design on the back page. This design -- a wooden trellis framing the page with various creatures in or on the frame -- is particularly revealing because the two frogs at the bottom are differently colored. This fact suggests the hand-coloring that I mention in reviewing the first volume. Otherwise the coloring seems similar. Together these two additional members of the sixth series cost one-third of what the earlier copy cost. Again, the seven images are beautiful! They are WL; FC; Le Lion et le Moucheron; TMCM; Le Héron; WC; and Le Cheval et le Loup. The front cover presents characters from three of these fables --the crow with cheese, the picky heron, and the wolf and lamb -- and adds two doves in the upper left corner. The pamphlet adds one pictureless fable before (Les Oreilles du Lièvre) and one after (Le Chameau et les Batons Flottants) the seven illustrated fables. These booklets are lovely treasures! 7¼ x 10. I can find them in neither Bodemann nor Bassy. I do notice that Bodemann lists Pellerin's fourth series as done in about 1910.
