Abstract
I have known and admired the work of Jacques Ferrand from three copies with different covers which I have of an oversized book of select fables of La Fontaine done in this very same year by the same publisher. This book is different. It is a small format book with the complete fables of La Fontaine and one faint black-and-white sketch per book. These sketches seem in no case to be the same as the black-and-white sketches in those larger books. Among the best of these sketches here may be Le Singe et le Dauphin at the beginning of Book IV and Le Singe et le Chat at the beginning of IX. There are no colored illustrations here. Ferrand is not mentioned in Hobbs.
