Abstract

en_US
This book makes a selection of fables from Lorioux' larger-format and larger-volume book of the same title by the same publisher in 1949. Here he handles six fables, with a single dramatic colored image for each. In three cases he adds a black-and-white image, each of which copies a colored image from the 1949 edition. The fables here include FS, The Heron, MM, The Two Cocks, The Weasel and the Little Rabbit, and TMCM. The lovely title-page illustration repeats the title-page illustration from 1949: a stork reads a La Fontaine book to a lively assortment of listening animals. These images in the later Lorioux, by contrast with his 1921 Hachette edition, show a new sense of texture, derived perhaps from someone like Dufy, and a great sense of play in the little creatures around the central figures. Notice that this book has a I after the title on its spine. I hope I will be finding a II and maybe even a III sometime!
