Jean de la Fontaine, illustrated by Percy J Billinghurst
John Lane, The Bodley Head, London, 1900
First edition. Hardback, bound in the original green decorative cloth. 24 x 17cm, 202pp + 1pp ad
100 tales from French fabulist Jean de La Fontaine, each fable accompanied by a highly detailed pen and ink sketch by Percy Billinghurst.
A good copy. The green cloth is a little rubbed and faded to the spine, joints and corners, and the book lacks the ffep. The main body of text is in good order, and the inner binding sound, and all remaining in strong readable condition.
