Gustave Doré La Fontaine 1950

1950?  La Fontaine Fables segment of a larger work.  Gustave Doré.  Pages 197-219.  8.9” x 12”.  Unknown source.

As I make my way through uncatalogued materials from the past, this is one of the more challenging.  Here are 23 pages of black-and-white reproductions of Gustave Doré with English language titles, followed on 220 by a bust of Baron Munchhausen.  I presume it is a section of a larger work presenting a number of Doré’s works.  The detail seems to me to be unusually well done.
