Abstract

en_US
For some time now, I have kicked myself for having bought a supposedly second copy of a book I had already found at Chanut in Paris this past May. Now as I look at both books, I see that the legal information at the end of this copy refers to 1933, while that refers to 1947. This book is special, I believe, for its twelve excellent full-page colored illustrations, all dated 1926. Are they gouaches? I'll list them here and italicize the best: FC (9), WL (19), TMCM (29), OR (35), LM (43), MSA (53), TT (65), The Little Fish (71), The Deer Gazing in the Water (81), MM (91), OF (105), and The Divided Oyster (112). There are also good smaller black-and-white line drawings, of which the best might be those on 80 and 104. There is a T of C at the back. The milkmaid's can here is unbreakable. There are red colored pictorial paste-on covers, the front showing La Fontaine with animals featured in these fables, while people from these fables are in the background.
