Abstract
-
en_US
L'Imagerie de Paris is the only further clue in this charming little pamphlet, about 5½ x 7. The booklet's cover shows the fox sitting at a tall pitcher, as in FS. It is signed Em (?) Dupuis. Inside there are twelve early chromolithographs featuring La Fontaine's text of a fable included in the design of a full-page colored picture. The printing here is on normal paper. I am surprised that the pamphlet has lasted this long. The twelve fables featured here include WL, TH, The Heron, FG, GGE, MM, DW, GA, The Worker and His Children, FS, FC, and BF. They are printed on only one side of the page, the left for the first six and the right for the last six. I have seen these illustrations before, though perhaps not the bicycle image for TH. I wonder if I have not seen them on cards rather than in books. The cover just came off of the book in this reading.
