Abstract
-
en_US
This edition seems to me to be identical with that which I have listed under the same publishers and year, having acquired it from Pangloss Books in Cambridge. I make a separate listing here to be on the safe side, since the seller labels it a First edition, Third state. The one difference I can find is that the illustration for Le heron - La Fille is faces 258, not 260. Let me repeat some of my remarks from that other copy. Some of the best illustrations are of the city and country rats (20), the cat-woman (82), the lion in love (127), and the fox without a tail (182). Except for decorations at each book's beginning, each woodcut gets a full page, with no print on its back. See 7.9's title-frame (269) for a typical case of enhancement from the earlier to the later edition.
