Six Various Gouget Prints

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.  And now I have found a sixth, "The Lobster and Her Young," for €20 from Albert van den Bosch, June, '23.  Click on any image to see it enlarged.
