Abstract
-
en_US
It has taken me fifteen years to catalogue this unassuming little book (3¾ x5?). It is in only fair condition. The cover is darkened and has a signature across its top and an ink blotch near its bottom. But it is a lovely little find! As Bodemann #330.3, it represents an important tradition in the publication of La Fontaine's fables in France. I have an 1874 Girardet edition published by Mame. The first edition seems to have been in 1857 and to have been reprinted with a few corrections in 1860. Bodemann's next edition in this chain is this item from 1878. The illustrations seem to have remained the same throughout these editions. The paper shows extensive foxing but the illustrations here are in good condition. They are unfortunately small. Now I need to find a copy of that 1857 first edition, and maybe even of the 1860 second edition.
