Abstract: en_US This lovely little pair of volumes seems to be a reprinting of Bodemann #135.11, published in 1802. They are small in size, 3½ x 5½. The illustrations seem to be done after Oudry, though, as the Bodemann comment indicates, decorative elements seem to be left out. A good sampling of the illustrations here might include Le Corbeau voulant imiter l'Aigle (98); Le Cheval et le Loup (175), one of the most vigorous of these cartoons; and Le Villageois et le Serpent (202), where the chopped serpent's front half seems to be suspended in mid air! These volumes formerly belonged to the Kensington Public Libraries. The covers are separating, and the spine-covers have all but disappeared.
