Remark:
"Here is a good showcasing of both Doré and La Fontaine, whom the back cover of the dust jacket here calls "la suprème manifestation du génie français." "Texte integral" is on the dust jacket and title page. The reproductions of Doré are well executed. The dust jacket even counts them up and comes to a total of 436. Do not miss the good colored version of "The Wolf as Shepherd" on the front cover of the dust jacket or the lovely embossed FC on the front cover of the book itself. Like most editions of Doré's La Fontaine, this is a big, heavy book!"
