1995?  Museum Brochure, Musee Jean de La Fontaine, Chateau-Thierry.  4-page.  French and English.  Published by the museum.

I picked this up on a very pleasant visit, my one time there.  The occasion was marred by only one thing.  I picked up a number of fascinating books in their bookshop and went down the street and mailed them.  That may be the only fable mailing that has not arrived.

This single page and its verso gives a long introduction to the exhibit, including its dates and times and the date and time of the opening.  The verso announces four coming events, including a musical-literary evening on October 1, 1996, “Fabula docet.”

 

1996  Brochure announcing the opening event of the exhibit “Die Aesop-Fabeln der Antike bis zur Aufklärung und Heinrich Steinhöwels Ulmer Aesop von 1476.”  September 3, 1996. 

This 4-page brochure in German offers good short background on fable, printing, this edition, other editions stemming from this edition, features of the exhibit, and an invitation.  It is curious to me that it never offers dates for the full exhibit.  The last page presents the program for the opening of the exhibit.
