Abstract
The cover of this oversized (almost 12 x 15½) book shows FC, along with the text for this fable. Inside this cover there are twenty-three posters or broadsides. The little binding that there was in this supersized pamphlet is now gone, along with the staples; the pages are loose. The covers are wrapped in clear plastic. Fables are taken from La Fontaine, Florian, and one unnamed source. The broadside itself uses three stars for the latter; perhaps the seller refers to this author when he speaks of a third author named Richer, whom I cannot otherwise find. A common feature of these pages is the pair of headings: Imagerie Pellerin on the left and Imagerie d'Epinal on the right, followed by various numbers. I can find no repeats from other posters I have found from Pellerin d'Epinal. The colors are, as always from this publisher, vivid. The best of the broadsides here include Le Lièvre & les Grenouilles, especially for its lively colors; FG/BF for its dressed animals and birds; and WC/DLS, for its careful work representing dressed animals. The spread of artistic styles here is quite broad. This is a frail treasure!
