Abstract

en_US
The eBay description mentions the rather splendid engraved plates. I find fully accurate that description of the the title-page design and the five full-page plates. The former is Fable and Truth. The latter include Les deux Voyageurs (41); La Mere, l'Enfant et les Sarigues (66); Les Singes et le Léopard (104); Le Savant et le Fermier (140); and Le Berger et le Rossignol (175). The images on 41 and 175 are particularly effective. In the former, Thomas the traveller pocketed a found purse and is now apprehended. In the latter, the shepherd pleads with the nightingale to sing on; he pays no attention to the frogs that threaten to drown out the bird's song. Is that fable on 66-69 about a kangaroo mother's pouch for her young? The key word here is sarigue. The line under the illustration for Les Singes et le Léopard makes the point that it is better not to have the noble play with the commoners, since hid beneath the softest paws are very sharp claws. 3 ½ x 5 ¾. 212 pages. AI at the back. Not in Bodemann.
