Abstract
The simple illustration on the title-page presents the contrast wonderfully that lies at the basis of this fable: tall vase versus shallow soup-dish on a lovely bit of table cloth, with a few sprigs of garnish. One great visual moment here has the stork writing her invitation with the pen clutched in her beak. Another has us seeing the eyes of the hungry fox peering over the edge of the stovetop in the stork's kitchen. The artist shows a gift for rich color, especially in the well imagined interior of the stork's home. The cover presents the contrast between dishes and has both eaters reacting negatively. The text is La Fontaine's straight verses, well divided. 25 pages, on which the color spreads all the way to the edges.
