Ces photos ont été prises à l'expo Le Labyrinthe de Versailles. Ci-dessus, le livre manuscrit de Charles Perrault (1674) sur le labyrinthe, exemplaire personnel de Louis XIV. A gauche, un superbe ouvrage de 1566 des fables d'Esope. Ci-dessous, les Fables de la Fontaine dans une édition de 1755-1759.

That's the sort of event I'd love to attend. Beautiful details just from these pictures in the books.

Love the illustrations too, wonderful looking books.

Wonderful collection.
Beautiful illustrations. Such gorgeous visuals!
They are in amazing condition for their age!
They are amazing and perfectly kept!
Those are fantastic. The labor costs that went into producing these works could never be replicated in today's economies. Now, these would have to be on a web site... with advertising.
This is amazing!! 1566??!!
They are so lovely! I doubt any ereader will be around in 450 years.
I could in theory read these on my iPad, but I'd lose all the pleasure of the touch and smell.
Fantastic !
The illustrations are magical.
Old books are true works of art, aren't they?
Precious volumes Ciel.. hard to imagine their story oui!
