    G. de Gonet|Paris s. d. [1849]|18 x 27 cm|relié
    First edition of this posthumous work illustrated with 15 hand-coloured steel engravings by Charles Geoffroy, including two frontispieces and a portrait of Grandville.

    Fables de La Fontaine[The Fables of La Fontaine]

    H. Fournier|Paris 1838|14.5 x 22.6 cm|Woodcut|Relié

    First edition, first issue, illustrated with an engraved frontispiece printed on mounted China paper and 120 wood-engraved plates by Grandville. From 1839 onwards, subsequent printings incorporated the wood engravings within the text and the frontispiece was printed on ordinary paper. Two issues were published by Fournier in 1838. The first issue may be identified by the captions to the engravings ending with a full stop; on page XIII of the Life of Aesop, the capital letter N is formed of looping lines, whereas in the second issue it is composed of small black-and-white squares. This distinction between the two issues is seldom noted. Our copy combines features of both issues: all the...

The frontispiece of volume 1 has been placed facing p. 32, the engraved half-title entitled Scène de moeurs serving as frontispiece; this half-title is often absent from most copies.
