Description
This volume of *Fables de La Fontaine*, published in Paris by Marcilly, is presented as an illustrated work in an exceptional miniature format of 40 × 55 mm. Intended for a luxury bibliophilic edition, it gathers the famous apologues of the French poet, staging anthropomorphic animals to illustrate moral or critical teachings. The interest of this book lies in its extreme material condensation, typical of prestige editions aimed at lovers of rare literary objects, although the precise condition of the support (binding, paper, illustrations) is not specified here. Its reduced size, unusual for a collection of fables, makes it a curiosity object for collectors of early books with atypical dimensions.
