Fables

First edition of the illustrations by Henry Lemarié, one of 3,450 copies printed on Rives wove paper (No. 1059).
Magnificent work illustrated by Henry Lemarié with 3 title vignettes and 57 large wood-engraved plates hors texte, hand-coloured using the pochoir process. 
One of the most desirable illustrated editions of La Fontaine's Fables produced in the twentieth century. 
Spines of the chemises sunned, boards lightly and partially discoloured, as is often the case, otherwise a pleasing set.
