Signed: Mina C. Peck, 12-'27, Los Angeles. Alas, Ms. Peck seems to have been delusional or mistaken in her genealogy. It is true Perigrine White was born in 1620, but hardly could have been Ms. Peck's great, great grandfather 250 or so years later..that would have been a stretch of Biblical proportions. He may have been a relative, but not the one she says. USD 135.00 [Appr.: EURO 90.75 \| £UK 81 \| JP¥ 12004] Book number: 13072 Click here to order or inquire at Sun Mountain Books.
	DE LA FONTAINE, Fables Choisies Mises En Vers... Tome Second. Centenant Les IV. V. & VI. Livres. Paris:, Michel David, Quay des Augustins, a la Providence. MDCCIX (1709). This is an early edition. Illustrated with chapter head engravings and tail engraved decorations. 6 1/2 x 3 7/8. This obviously original binding in full, brown calf with five raised spine bands. Marbled end papers. The binding is quite worn. The spine cover is missing. The book is worth rebinding, but I like the wonderful Antique look of it..it appears like it could have come out of some ancient castle or monastery. The boards are held on by the cords, one page of the table of contents is detached. There is light scattered foxing and age-toning of the pages, but the book is complete and the contents are bright and Very Good. Jean de La Fontaine's fables were first published between 1668 and 1694. Partly based on Aesop's fables, they were written during the reign of Louis XIV. Featuring poems about industrious ants, brave lions and carefree grasshoppers, these fables not only mock the court of the Sun King but contain moral lessons about living wisely and well.While Jean-Baptiste Oudry designed the original engravings for Fables Choisies, Montenault commissioned Charles-Nicolas Cochin, the Younger to redraw Oudry's designs because he deemed Oudry's technique to be too 'free and loose' for engravers to follow. Montenault then engaged 42 engravers to complete the copper plates.Montenault also commissioned Jean-Jacques Bachelier to design decorative tailpieces to fill the spaces at the end of each fable. These ornamental designs, which were engraved on wood by Jean-Michel Papillon and Nicolas Le Sueur, counterbalance the complexity of the engraved plates.

Marshall. Title and text printed with borders. 5 5/8 x 3 1/2. Was bound in full leather with four raised spine bands and gilt spine title. Front board is missing.

Text is complete even though pages are mis-numbered. Despite modern connotations of the word "utopia," it is widely accepted that the society More describes in this work was not actually his own "perfect society." Rather he wished to use the contrast between the imaginary land's unusual political ideas and the chaotic politics of his own day as a platform from which to discuss social issues in Europe.

Signed: Mina C. Peck, 12-'27, Los Angeles. Alas, Ms. Peck seems to have been delusional or mistaken in her genealogy. It is true Perigrine White was born in 1620, but hardly could have been Ms. Peck's great, great grandfather 250 or so years later..that would have been a stretch of Biblical proportions.

	DE LA FONTAINE, Fables Choisies Mises En Vers... Tome Second. Centenant Les IV. V. & VI. Livres. Paris:, Michel David, Quay des Augustins, a la Providence. MDCCIX (1709). This is an early edition. Illustrated with chapter head engravings and tail engraved decorations. 6 1/2 x 3 7/8. This obviously original binding in full, brown calf with five raised spine bands. Marbled end papers. The binding is quite worn. The spine cover is missing. The book is worth rebinding, but I like the wonderful Antique look of it..it appears like it could have come out of some ancient castle or monastery. The boards are held on by the cords, one page of the table of contents is detached. There is light scattered foxing and age-toning of the pages, but the book is complete and the contents are bright and Very Good. Jean de La Fontaine's fables were first published between 1668 and 1694. Partly based on Aesop's fables, they were written during the reign of Louis XIV. Featuring poems about industrious ants, brave lions and carefree grasshoppers, these fables not only mock the court of the Sun King but contain moral lessons about living wisely and well.While Jean-Baptiste Oudry designed the original engravings for Fables Choisies, Montenault commissioned Charles-Nicolas Cochin, the Younger to redraw Oudry's designs because he deemed Oudry's technique to be too 'free and loose' for engravers to follow. Montenault then engaged 42 engravers to complete the copper plates.Montenault also commissioned Jean-Jacques Bachelier to design decorative tailpieces to fill the spaces at the end of each fable. These ornamental designs, which were engraved on wood by Jean-Michel Papillon and Nicolas Le Sueur, counterbalance the complexity of the engraved plates.

Text is complete even though pages are mis-numbered. Despite modern connotations of the word "utopia," it is widely accepted that the society More describes in this work was not actually his own "perfect society." Rather he wished to use the contrast between the imaginary land's unusual political ideas and the chaotic politics of his own day as a platform from which to discuss social issues in Europe.
