Fables de La Fontaine

Abstract

Édition Stéréotype, d'après le procédé de Firmin Didot. Book I is headed by a pleasant illustration of a plowman with bees in the background. Book VII is headed by a printer's design. Otherwise this little (3½ x 5¼) volume of the complete fables of La Fontaine has little to distinguish it. Only the dedication to the Dauphin precedes that first fable. There is an AI following 203. It uses Roman-numeral pagination, starting -- curiously -- at c. Leather covers. Canvas binding with a red title-strip that has lost its print.
