TROIS HOMMES

Three Men In A Boat is my favorite book of all time. I suppose this makes Jerome K Jerome my favorite author, but if not for this book, I don't suppose I would be a collector of his works, which I am.
Three Men In A Boat was published more than one hundred years ago and has never been out of print. It has been published in at least twenty six languages and countless editions, many of them not altogether properly authorized. At this point, it's a moot point, as the book has been out of any copyright for quite a while. There are many fine editions currently in print including reprints of the first edition by Arrowsmith.
I decided that I should start to include foreign editions in my collection and began with an edition published by Hachette in 1947, with illustrations by Jean Routier.
I have come across many editions of Three Men In A Boat, but this version of Trois Hommes Dans Un Bateau has what may be the worst illustrations I have ever seen. The three men of the title, rendered by Routier, look like three youths, and three French youths at that.
Have later versions been offered in France with better illustrations? Or no illustrations at all, which would be a marked improvement over those by Routier? We shall see.
