Abstract
-
en_US
Here is the last volume of the set of six volumes, published between 1765 and 1775. See my comments on the previous volumes in 1765, 1766, 1768, 1773, and 1774. Like the fifth volume, this sixth volume no longer mentions an editor on the title-page. This volume contains only a T of C before it begins with The Lion, the 205th fable in this work and first in La Fontaine's Book XI. This volume finishes with the 238th fable. Again, when the fables begin, pagination moves from Roman to Arabic numerals. The pagination skips the full engraved plates, which are not printed on the verso. These full-page illustrations are again presented in frames similar to those one would find around Oudry's work. Almost every fable receives three illustrations: a full-page engraving, a headpiece, and a tailpiece. Memorable illustrations include: The Wolf and the Fox (18); The Cat and the Two Mice (43); all three illustrations for The Crow, the Gazelle, the Turtle, and the Rat (81); The Fox, the Wolf, and the Horse (90); The Fox and the Indian Turkeys (92); and all three illustrations for The Monkey (94). Half-calf over five raised bands on the spine, marbled endpapers, and a page-marking ribbon.
