Abstract

en_US Here is a very large-format book (almost 9½ x 12) with connections to several European countries. Apparently the illustrations were first done for a group in England. Its name is listed twice: County Studio and Contry Studio. Somehow a firm named Piccolia is also involved in this French edition. I suspect that the book was first done in Italy, where it is printed. There is an AI at the back covering the book's 150 pages. The same design of snail and flowers recurs frequently at the bottom of text pages. The cover's illustration of TH seems to show a signature of Leonore 92 on a flower. The animals are regularly dressed. WC exhibits a typical illustration on 35. TMCM on 103 shows a big black boot ready to come through the door and interrupt the two rats, both of whom are holding hunks of cheese. For large portions of the book there seems to be a rhythm at work: a fable text on a left-hand page is balanced by a full-page illustration on the right-hand page. Then there are two pages with only texts and the repeated bottom decoration. Then the rhythm starts over.
