ALSO: Two plates that are often censored - Cas de Conscience & Diable de Papefiguiere - do not seem to appear at all in my examples. 12mo (in 8s). 185 mm. Attractive contemporary French red morocco gilt bindings, with only very slight defects. First Edition. Provenance: The set belonged to Edwin Wolf II (1911 1991) - famous as the Librarian of the Library Company of Philadelphia, and as a collector, and an employee of the renowned Rosenbach Co. from 1930 to 1952. The Family Album purchased a large part of his collection of early books in 1992. About this work : The world famous tales and fables of Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695), neatly printed in verse, are joined by a 'Dissertation sur la Joconde' by Nicolas Boileau Despreaux (1636-1711); and the best work of the great illustrators & engravers Charles Eisen (1720-1778) and Pierre-Philippe Choffard (1730-1809). Justly considered one of the greatest examples of French rococo illustration. The Fermiers Generaux, an entrepreneurial financial association responsible for gathering and banking certain kinds of taxes, commissioned this edition of La Fontaine's zesty tales. Determined that the book should be the best of its kind, they allowed their agent, the Chevalier d'Agincourt, unlimited resources. It is still provocative to consider that patronage of the arts by this new plutocracy produced the greatest monument and triumph of this renowned age of illustration.

The fourteen tales contained therein were translated by Mrs. Howitt. In 1852 the scarce second edition appeared, containing forty-five tales and at the time the sole complete collection in English. The translations were made from the original Danish and not from any of the later German versions. Enhanced by Heath Robinson's inimitable illustrations, this edition comprises a verbatim reprint of the fourteen tales of the 1846 edition and the remaining thirty-one tales of the second edition of 1852. AN ELEGANT COPY OF A VERY SCARCE EDITION.
