Jean de La Fontaine's Fables first published between 1668 and 1694 remain foundational texts of French literature.

An exhibition monograph published to coincide with the show at the Alfred Stieglitz Center of the Philadelphia Museum of Art from December 12th 1970 through February 7th 1971. For more than five decades Jerry Uelsmann has sought to transform photography de-emphasizing its function as a form of documentation liberating it as a medium capable of re-imagining the real. Widely known as one of the forefathers of the digitally manipulated image his work has influenced and inspired a broad range of artists and photographerseven as he maintains his strict adherence to purely analog tools to explore the alchemy of the darkroom. Acclaimed as an international master of photomontage Uelsmann crafts his images using the integration of multiple negatives and processing effectsa fact that members of the digital generation often overlook. Over half a century after he first broke onto the scene Uelsmann continues to develop his unique transformational styleone that fascinates and engages artists students and general audiences across the worldand to explore ways to merge the subjective and objective in a single image.
