Grandville 1838

1838?  Four hand-colored illustrations of La Fontaine’s fables by J.J. Grandville.  5.6" x 7.6".  Unknown source. 

A fascinating set of exquisitely colored illustrations.  Apparently taped inside protective covers, one of which remains.  A fascinating aspect of these hand-colored pages is the way the color seeps through selectively onto the verso of the page.  A lovely find!
