Fables de La Fontaine (1856 Edition)
A charming 19th-century French edition of La Fontaine’s timeless Fables, printed in Paris by Dezobry, E. Magdeleine et Cie in 1856. This petite volume, with its worn paper cover, carries the soft patina of age and the quiet poetry of centuries past. A beautiful piece of French literary history — perfect for a bookshelf vignette or a collector of antique books.
Dimensions: 4” x 6”
Printed in Paris, 1856
Jean de La Fontaine’s Fables were originally written between 1668 and 1694, retelling Aesop’s fables in French verse. By the 19th century, his works were considered essential reading for moral and linguistic education in France.
This 1856 copy would have been used in a school or home setting, valued for both its literary and moral instruction.
