Abstract
Here is a small (3½ x 5½), typical French edition of La Fontaine from the 1830's. Perhaps the only remarkable thing about the edition, shared with many later editions from Mame, is that it italicizes the morality portion before or after a fable, at least those in which a moral is announced. This copy lacks its front cover. The Mame tradition of presenting La Fontaine's fables is heavy! I count these Mame editions: 1852 Coste; 1870 and 1877 Grandville; 1870 and 1890 Girardet; 1910 Vimar; 1926 Nézière; 1946 Mirabelle; and 1950 Ferrand.
