Abstract
I cannot find this work in either Bodemann or Bassy, though Pauquet is mentioned four times in the former and once in the latter for other editions. There is no mention of either Emy or Delarue. 143 and 212 pages for these 5 x 7¼ separate volumes bound together. The red cloth covers feature elaborate gilt and black designs. The pages are gilt all the way around. There seem to be about five or six partial-page illustrations per book. These seem routine and derived from Oudry. Perhaps the most successful are The Bear and the Gardener on 53 and The Two Rats, the Fox, and the Egg on 105, both in the second volume. There is a fine full-page insert of The Donkey and the Lapdog on 73. Other full-page illustrations occur as frontispiece to both volumes; there is also The Old Man and the Three Youths facing 148 of the second volume. Each of these four is signed by Emy. There is a T of C after each of the two volumes, with an additional AI of the whole book after the second T of C.
