Abstract

en_US This is the edition I had first of this lovely little volume containing sixty fables, all but one (the first: GA) with a very engaging black-and-white silhouette. Some of my favorite little silhouettes include the cover/frontispiece illustration of Aesop speaking to a group, Death and the Woodman (12), LM (28), AD (30), FK (46), GGE (70), and The Rat and the Elephant (104). I found this copy at my favorite Bücherwurm in Heidelberg in 1998. Then Ulrike Knüpfer brought me her father's signed, stamped, dated (1926) copy. My earlier guess for the book's date was 1935. I have changed that to 1925? and have made separate listings for the two copies. This Bücherwurm copy has a darker cover. On the cloth cover and the spine are inlaid paper elements with the title, silhouette, and publisher's insignia. The Knüpfer copy has a paper cover and spine, and those elements may be printed right onto them.
