Jean de la Fontaine: 60 Fabels
(B.V. Uitgeversbedrijf het Goede Boek, 1980)
This is a standard book of Doré's illustrations to La Fontaine, very similar to books I have in French, English, and German. Large format, 126 pages. I was happy to find a new fable book in my first afternoon in Holland. ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(Edita, 1994)
This is a heavy large-format book of 383 pages. There is no T of C or AI. The unusual feature of this presentation of Doré's illustrations is that all are colored, both the smaller title-illustrations and the full-page ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Prosveta, 1989)
A beautiful huge book found at one of my first stops in an all-day Montreal bookstore tour. The closest parallel is the Chartwell/Ebeling Fables of La Fontaine of 1982. See my comments there. The two books are the same ...

(Emil Vollmer Verlag, 1975)

Fables de La Fontaine, Tome I
(Librairie de L. Hachette et cie., 1867)
At last a genuine first edition of Doré. It was so good of Edward to let me know about it! This is, like its companion Volume II, a huge and heavy book. A wonderful showpiece for the eighty-four full-page wood engravings; ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome II
(Hachette, 1867)
See my comments on Volume I. There seems to be rather heavy foxing at the very beginning of this book. Again, the full-page wood engravings, like MM (32), come off the page vibrant! A newly discovered head piece is that ...
