Jean de La Fontaine: Fables, Vol. I
(P. L'AînePierre L'Aîné, 1956)
There are four very nice (water-color?) illustrations in this volume: FC (48), the bird wounded with a feather (88), GGE (192), and The Young Widow (224). The wounded bird and the widow are the best of these four. ...
Jean de La Fontaine: Fables, Vol. II
(Pierre L'Aîné, 1956)
There are four very nice (water-color?) illustrations in this volume: of the picky heron (16), the two friends (64), the old man and the three young men (168), and the league of rats (228). The first and third are the ...
Oeuvres Complete de La Fontaine
(Garnier Frères, 1877)
Here is a serious tome containing all of La Fontaine's works. The work seems closest to Bodemann #135.14, of which I have the first two volumes. Those are the two volumes in that set which contain fables. This edition ...
Reynard the Fox and Other Fables
(Dover Publications, Inc.,, 2014)
Here is Dover's reprint of the 1925 original. The hardbound 6 x 9 Volland volume has become an 8¼ x 11 paperbound Dover volume. Pagination has been added and the cover picture is not extended from the front through the ...
Fables de La Fontaine avec un nouveau commentaire, Tome Second
(Emler Frères, Libraires, 1828)
The value of these two volumes lies chiefly, I believe, in the twelve aqua-fortis gravures designed by Pierre-Nolasque Bergeret. They often have a medallion inserted within a picture. A list of them, as apparently first ...
Marc Chagall: The Fables of La Fontaine
(Distributed by W.W. NortonThe New Press, 1997)
This is one of the most delightful and beautiful books I have found! Three things impress me particularly about the book. First, it helps to clear up the difficult history of Chagall's involvement with La Fontaine's ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Premier
(Armand Aubrée, Éditeur, 1839)
This is one of my favorite acquisitions for the collection. It seems to reproduce the 1842 edition (Bassy #42, p. 268) in many respects, except that it is published by Armand Aubrée, publisher of the 1839 edition. ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Second
(Armand Aubrée, Éditeur, 1839)
See my comments on the first volume. As pointed out there, this volume's special frontispiece gives the 1839 date. This volume has the same inscriptions: 9.1.24 and March, '44. Among my favorite illustrations are: both ...

Fables de La Fontaine
(J. Hetzel et Cie, 1870)
I find this book disappointing. It is large, with gilt page-edges. It contains some 113 full-page illustrations by Louis Eugène Lambert (1825-1900), but most of them seem to me simple, direct, dull, and predictable. ...
