Abstract
This large-format (10" x 12¾") pamphlet of twelve pages -- with two staples in the middle pages -- is exactly the third of four segments in the larger work of the same size by Gordinne (?) about the same time titled "Fables Choisies de La Fontaine.". The surprise here is that the publisher is not Gordinne but Les Éditions René Touret. As I wrote there, I would love to have a chance to gather the various similar and related publications of fables around 1950 in the same family. As I wrote there, the illustrations here are the work of, I believe, Raoul Thomen, who died in 1950. A collective image on the cover presents the lion harassed by a mosquito, FG, MSA, TMCM, and perhaps a combined image of a hare and an ass. It closes with a dramatic image on the back cover of FG. Inside is a combination of duochrome and colored images for "The Animals Sick from the Plague"; two pages of duochrome images for MSA; a two-page spread of a colored image for "The Lion and the Mosquito," two pages of duochrome for FG and TMCM, a colored page for "The Worker and His Sons," and a duochrome page for LM.
