Abstract
This book surprised me on Ebay. It is a landscape formatted paperbound book 11¾" x 8¼" with thirty of Chardon's eclectic colored paintings having all the right-hand pages of the book, with La Fontaine's texts on the left. There is a literary piece on the title-page by Daniel Delpeck, and the same page acknowledges photos by Denis Mareau. Are those photos of Chardon's paintings? These full-page paintings are loud and eclectic and often, I find, quite engaging. My top choices here are OF (9); TT (13); "The Crow Imitating the Eagle" (21); TMCM (39); 2P (49); and MSA (61). I get the impression that Chardon did yet more illustrations of the fables, and that these were chosen from among the larger oeuvre.
