Abstract
Bassy 37t. Three-quarter Morocco, with marbled boards. Formerly owned by St. Bernard's Seminary Library in Rochester, NY (the library's lending rules are still on the pocket inside the back cover). Bassy praises the editor's job in putting together the eight plates by Johannot with four by Moreau le Jeune (for I, 22; II, 9; VI, 13; and VII, 10). For me, the best of the illustrations are Les Femmes et le Secret (200), Le Mari, la Femme et le Voleur (253), and Le Thésauriseur et le Singe (314). Johannot sometimes may tend to be a little precious. There is also a frontispiece portrait of La Fontaine, the artist for which is not indicated.
