    Not illustrated. (Are any of Project Gutenberg's texts? I kind of hate that, ha ha.)

      Sure, for instance: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/25357/pg25357-images.html https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/25357/pg25357-images.ht... (They also have the Doré version, but you found that already.)

  Hard to do better than Gustave Doré: https://archive.org/details/fablesoflafontai0000lafo_y7d3/page/n5/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/fablesoflafontai0000lafo_y7d3/pa...

    This also happens to be the illustrator for the art in the Wikipedia article of the parent story.
