- Abstract
- en_US I have to thank the eBay seller for providing me helpful information on this lovely little book in fragile condition. It measures just under 4 x 6. Its 315 pages include 85 engravings. While many of the engravings are quite small, some take a full page. These very good full-page illustrations seem devoted to some of the best known of Krylov's fables: OF (12); Quartet (74); Master John's Soup (106); The Crane, the Lobster, and the Pike (137); and The Monkey and the Spectacles (156). Some initials look quite clever (13), but I cannot assess well without being able to match the illustration to the fable. There is an AI at the back. The cover is so worn that it is hard to make out the animals pictured in black-and-white on it.
