SCHOLL, Aurélien, and GRIVAZ, Eugène. La Fontaine’s Fables: - Lot 292

SCHOLL, Aurélien, and GRIVAZ, Eugène. La Fontaine’s Fables: A Filtered Edition. A witty reimagining in which fin-de-siècle humor playfully reinvents the famous fables. Paris, E. Dentu, 1886. In-8, blue half-maroquin, ribbed spine, gilt head, untrimmed, covers preserved (front cover illustrated). Binding signed Pagnant. 63 pp., black-and-white illustrations within and outside the text. Minor scuffing from handling on the binding; spine very slightly sun-faded. First edition of these fables, humorously reimagined and delightfully illustrated by Eugène Privaz. One of the copies printed on Dutch laid paper—unnumbered but “printed in a small run.” Large “A. Rodelet” bookplate on the inside front cover. A fine copy, complete with its full-color illustrated cover, in a later fine signed binding.
