I have found the work of Emile Joseph Alexandre Gouget on three occasions and in three forms. The first two, the simplest, cost €2 apiece at a flea market in Strasbourg in July, '19.
The Forest and the Woodcutter | The Farmer, the Dog & the Fox |
In my short time in Paris in the summer of 2014, I managed to find a number of fable materials. Among them are broadsides or separated pages from Gouget's edition of La Fontaine in 1834 (Bodemann #279.1). There are two groups.
One group of five is carefully matted but without decoration around the page of text and illustration. They are slightly colored. The seller labeled them "1834" and that was the first clue that these are Gouget's work. Gouget's signature is at the bottom of most texts. The illustrations here are slightly colored. These five are the following. Click on any image to see it enlarged.
The Dog and Her Puppies | The Lark and Her Young |
The Man & His Wooden Idol | The Oracle and the Impious Man |
Simonides |
A third group of twelve has elaborate printer's designs around the (identical) illustration and text. Each has these three signatures: Gouget Dir. Ex"; "N. PA. Xardo Sc."; and "LeMercier."
These prints include the following. Click on any image to see it enlarged.
Education | The Bassa and the Merchant |
The Daughter | Head & Tail of the Serpent |
The Ingratitude of Man vis-a-vis Fortune | The Man & His Wooden Idol |
The Man Who Runs After Luck & the Man Who Stays in Bed | The Pupil, the Pedant & the Garden Master |
The Treasure-Hound & the Monkey | The Two Friends |
Crow, Gazelle, Tortoise & Rat (Page 2 of 2) | Kite, King & Hunter (Page 2 of 2) |
