It is illustrated with a portrait of Jean de La Fontaine engraved by Jean-François Ribault (1767-1829) after Edelinck's engraving of Hyacinthe Rigaud's painting (1659-1743) and 25 non-text figures in first print, engraved by Antoine Abraham and Étienne Devilliers, Emmanuel-Jean-Népomucène De Ghendt (1738-1815), Jean-Louis Delignon (1755-1804?), Rémi Delvaux (1748?-1823), Philippe Trière (1756-1815?), Antoine-Claude-François Villerey (1754-1828), Jean Bosq (17...-18..), Pigeot, Jean Baptiste Blaise Simonet (1742-1817) and Louis François Mariage (17...-18..) based on the compositions of Jean-Michel Moreau, known as MOREAU LE JEUNE (1741-1814).
Very nice copy in vellum paper, containing the suite composed of a portrait and 25 figures by MOREAU Le Jeune in double condition, BEFORE THE LETTER AND WATER-FORTS.
Exceptional together in an admirable binding
