Revised and enlarged de luxe edition of Dorat’s 99 fables in its re-dated impression of c. 1775 (many vignettes dated 1774 and 1775), but still showing the typographic characteristics of the first impression in vol. I as listed by Cohen and Lewine. Most desirable copy on “papier de Hollande”. Claude-Joseph Dorat (1734–1780) published a first proof of 83 of his witty fables in 1772. This first edition had great success and was re-issued in the present enlarged edition, sumptuously illustrated by Clément-Pierre Marillier (1740–1808), the outstanding illustrator of the Louis XVI period. More than 25 engravers executed his drawings which show the motifs of the fables within an ornamental frame. – Bodemann 157.2; Fabula docet 102; Landwehr 142; Cohen/de Ricci 313–316 (“chef-d’oeuvre de Marillier”); Lewine 150f.; Sander 508. – Ex-libris “Bibli. de Mr. de Beaumont” on paste-down of vol.
