Abstract

en_US I bought this book with my last money during the last few minutes of my last day in Berlin. I thought I recognized it but found it such a good copy that I took it anyway, even though Herr Düwal did not want to bargain. I was delighted when I got home to find that the copy I have is in Russian (Basni) a year earlier. The distinguishing mark of the book remains its raised cover portrait. Krylov, represented here by twenty-five fables, seems highly dependent on LaFontaine. There is a T of C at the back. The various Soviet artists present a variety of mature styles in the black-and-white illustrations, some of which add a color. Do not overlook the individual title-illustrations and endpieces, not unlike Bewick's tailpieces. The best of the illustrations are of the exploding frog (10-11), the bear and the gardener (14), the exhausted fox (29), the quartet (46-7), the monkey and the spectacles (70-71), the second--human--illustration for Schwan, Hecht und Krebs (63), and the crow in peacock's feathers (96). This German edition uses stronger paper than the Russian. See also the Aufbau-Verlag's edition of 1952, which uses the same plates.
