Abstract
Bodemann 368.2. This book is closest to La Fontaine: Fables Choisies (Bodemann 368.3), which I have listed under 1900? Other members of the family include the two volumes of Imagerie Artistique (Bodemann 368.1), which I guess to have come out ten years earlier (Bodemann has them under 1888-1890?), and Fables Choisies (1910?). This book shares with 368.3 the facts that they have no texts and are not identical with the larger poster-like pictures of 368.1 and the posters that correspond with 368.1. This volume differs in that it has only fourteen illustrations, whereas 368.3 has twenty-eight. Among the best illustrations here may be FG, OR, and Le Charretier Embourbé. There is an oval presentation of the FG illustration on the cover. 9¾ x 12¾. This was a very lucky find on Ebay! And then an even luckier find at Powell's!
