Abstract
-
en_US
This may be the first French La Fontaine printed in the USA for many years! It is a large-format (8½ x 11½) book for children containing some forty-seven most popular fables, according to the back cover. Several illustrations stand out for me. The feathers on 7 show what is left of the owlets which the eagle had promised never to harm. The oncoming owl will learn that he had described them in misleading terms. I have, I think, never seen so dominating a winter landscape as Lammerant presents for GA on 28-29. In FK, the crane is grasping a victim frog by the crane's claw-feet (43). One of Lammerant's most successful images for presenting facial features presents the wolf become a shepherd (65). The publisher is wise to use this illustration on the book's cover. The wolf being operated on by the crane (67) has a pile of bones nearby. As the concluding T of C shows, the sequence of the fables presented in this book is alphabetical. This is one of the rare times that a T of C therefore is identical with an AI.
