Abstract

en_US
Lovely engravings, eight by Johannot and four by Moreau le Jeune, besides an unclaimed frontispiece portrait of LaFontaine. Since there is no list of illustrations, let me mention all twelve, with + for the best. Johannot did 2W (41+), The Shepherd and the Sea (93), TB (137+), The Young Widow (158+), The Woman and the Secret (200), The Husband, the Wife, and the Thief (253+), The Flute Fisherman (279), and The Miser and the Monkey (314+). Moreau did The Oak and the Reed (46+), The Lion and the Mosquito (55+), The Country Man and the Serpent (151+), and MM (176). Bassy mentions Johannot some eighteen times and offers extensive comments on his style. This edition seems to be a second printing (the first was in 1853) of item #37t on 267 in Bassy's catalogue. AI at back. Nice binding, marbling, and gilt edges.
