- Abstract
- en_US The special feature of this book lies, I believe, in the strong woodcuts. The first of these is a full-page frontispiece showing Krylov himself in top hat in the midst of animals, a farmer, and a rustic. Then each of the nine books gets a woodcut of its own on that book's title-page, starting with OF on 3. These are Dogs' Friendship (31); Geese (59); Hermit and Bear (87); Soup of Master John (109); The Industrious Bear (139); BF (165): Dog and Horse (193); and Wolves and Sheep (215). There is both an AI and a T of C at the end. A surprising feature of this book is that it uses various kinds of paper for various sections of the book. The cloth cover pictures a scene of two peasants and a (dead?) bear.
