BOOK INFO: Fables have been illustrated with humans in animal guise, but nothing like these drawings had been seen before Grandville published in the early 19th century. Grandville satirized the follies of politics and society through birds, elephants, rhinos, and beetles dressed and speaking like humans, yet observed with the sympathetic eye of a naturalist. These brilliant, evocative images became the rage of Paris. Among the B&W drawings, this collection includes 23 full-color illustrations from his two major works, illuminating one of the most dazzling talents in the history of illustration.
