Abstract
-
en_US
This is a strange and dear book. It consists of what is left of an edition of fables using Grandville's illustrations. In fact, the printer's designs around the fable numbers remind me of those in the first three editions of Grandville's La Fontaine. Unfortunately, the one I checked for WL is not identical with any of the three different printer's designs for that fable in those early Grandville editions. The book has a number of repaired pages. These repairs account for at least some of the non-paginated pages. That is, the reconstructor took a whole new page and backed what was left of an illustration page. The title-pages and first five fables are missing. At least some other pages are missing. The last fable here is Fabel 91, but it seems impossible to know if the book originally contained more fables. It is not even certain to me that these are all La Fontaine's fables. The verse texts are not those of Theodor Etzel. The book shows some possible identification with Bodemann #288.5 from Georg Wigand in Leipzig in 1837, but some details of the signatures of the lithography seem not to agree. A search through Bodemann has not yielded any other candidates.
