Abstract
-
en_US
Pretty little books with part-calf and part-marbled covers, lovely marbled end-papers, and place-marking ribbons. Le Rat's six illustrations here are I 19 Boy and Pedant, II 17 Peacock and Juno, III 1 MSA, IV 18 Old Man and Sons, V 11 Fortune and the Child, and VI 21 Young Widow. Le Rat's work is familiar to me from the four-volume Jaoust edition of Elizur Wright's translation in 1881. The same pattern that has been destroying those volumes--drying of leather spines after one hundred years--is starting to bother these volumes. Since they have differently designed covers and spines and varying quality of illustrations, I will keep both pairs in the collection. Notes and T of C at the back.
