Abstract

en_US
This is actually two 32-page books put together, each with its own pagination. The binding seems to be staples and canvas. The fables of Florian are presented in a surprising manner, in that a reader is never quite sure what is coming next; it may be a simple text, a full-page illustration, or a design. Pagination begins with the title-page, which includes a simple illustration of a rabbit and a duck. One of the first full-page illustrations, which includes several colors, occurs before its story, so that one needs to turn the page to find the story. This is The Blind Man and the Paralytic (13-15). Next comes a two-page illustration for Magic Lantern, followed by its text. The first volume ends with The Cat and the Rats, first text and then, on a new page facing the beginning of Volume II, a full-page illustration of several colors. The two-page illustration at the center of the second volume is The Two Lions. The illustration for The Leopard and the Squirrel (23) is the final page (32)! If I were more excited about the fables of Florian, I might be more excited about the simple illustrations here. The best of them is perhaps the cover's scene of handing out bags of money. I presume that it fits with Le bonhomme et le trésor (2 in the second volume). The back cover labels this as Editions Bias No. 4850.
