1846 FABLES of Jean de FONTAINE French Literature Aesop Illustrated 24 Plates
Jean de la Fontaine was without question, the most widely read 17th-century fabulist, and perhaps could be rivaled only by Aesop himself. He wrote for what he intended to be a sophisticated French audience; however, his stories provided important lessons on morality for children and adults alike. This 1846 edition was illustrated by artists Jules David, Tony Johannot, Victor Adam, and F. Grenier et Shaal. It also features historical notes by Charles A. Walckenaer.

Description:
1896 Jules Verne 1ed Facing the Flag Face Drapeau Extraordinary Voyages Hetzel

"Reality provides us with facts so romantic that imagination itself could add nothing to them."
― Jules Verne

Jules Verne published a number of lesser-known science fiction, adventure novels in addition to his high profile works such as 'Twenty Thousand Leagues' and 'Around the World in 80 Days'. One such work was 'Facing the Flag' – one of Verne's numerous books in which the world faced the threat of a weapon of mass destruction!

Note on dating: like many other Verne first editions, the title page included was issued in each edition, including later printings. The dating comes from the ads in the back of the book – note the ads in this volume advertise for the releases in the 1896-1897 print year, making this a true first edition of 'Facing the Flag'!
