Abstract
-
en_US
Here is a compact little (3½ x 5 x 1) La Fontaine that seems complete. The eBay advertisement claimed only the frontispiece when it spoke of an illustration. The title-page claims Gravures. The truth lies in the middle: there are two black-and-white illustrations, one before Book I and one before Book VI. They are The Monkey and the Cat and The Lion in Love, respectively. The latter is on the slightly suggestive side! French Wikipedia reveals that the pen name of Paul Avril was adopted by Édouard-Henri Avril, who died in 1928 and was known for his erotic paintings. Not in Bodemann.
