Abstract

en_US Beautifully inscribed in 1844. Apparently not in Bodemann. 4¼ x 6¾. I have only Part I of two parts. Thus this book handles only fifty fables, listed in a beginning T of C. It handles them in lovely fashion! The book's two great features include first its four languages (French, German, Italian, and English) for each fable, each presented on separate pages. The other great feature consists in the hand-colored copper etchings. Even they have titles in four languages. Among the best of these are The Geese and the Cranes (26), The Dog and the Ox (38), The Stag and the Horse (54), CJ (122), and The Peasant and the Stork (182). Less successful are all the lions' heads and the leopard's spots on 126. Though the spine is still firm, many of the illustration pages are coming loose. Is that a contemporary figured cover? It includes nice etchings on both front and back.
