Abstract
-
en_US
This little volume, about 4½ x 6¼, has a surprising range of visual offerings. It may be one of the best simple introductions to the variety of French illustration of La Fontaine. Though the flyleaf advertises the work of the greatest artists from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries, the scope reaches further back than that. An early favorite new to me is the illustration for The Cat Metamorphosized (69). There are many popular, ephemeral illustrations, like that for TMCM on 17; these are generally not associated with an artist's name. The great artists and groups that do appear include these: Barboutau, Bon Marché, Chagall, Crane, de la Nézière, Doré, Épinal, Gellibert, Grandville, Jaba, Jankowski, Jeanjean, Lorioux, Loto des Fables, Moreau, Oudry, Pautoberge, Rackham, Rapeño, and Vimar. The most frequently used include Bon Marché, de la Nézière, Grandville, Loto des Fables, Rapeño, and Vimar. Barboutau is on both covers of the dj. The book is very solidly put together and beautifully printed.
