Abstract

en_US This is an apparently later printing of a volume I have already as a gift, and which I have listed under 1935?. There are clear differences. The cover has changed from a white, green, and brown floral pattern to a simpler orange geometric scheme. The title-page's spider-web is gone, but the title-page now uses the s at the end of LaFontaine's name that is also on the cover. The colophon still incorrectly gives the source of the illustrations nach der ersten französischen Ausgabe (1842), when the first edition of Grandville's work in French was in 1838. That colophon has been brought from the back of the book to the obverse of the title-page. It includes now 26. bis 35. Tausend. Was Anne's copy, without any indication of the number printed, perhaps a first edition? The printer has changed from Breitkopf and Härtel in Leipzig to Poeschel and Trepte in Leipzig. In fact, the selection of fables and illustrations has changed. The script of Etzel's verse translations remains Gothic throughout. This book has the mark of its first seller: L. Blumstein in Tel Aviv.
