- Abstract
- en_US A curious find, especially because there is an East German edition (Jean de la Fontaine: Fabeln), published in 1955 with exactly these thirty-six illustrations but with translations by Martin Remane and an additional 42 fables without colored illustrations. A quick comparison between the illustrations suggests that the colors are often quite different and that the East German work tends to be more careful. Here every other page is a full-page, unbacked, unpaginated color-illustration. Even if less well reproduced here than there, the illustrations are a delight. See my remarks on the East German edition. I have not checked Rolf Mayr's verse. My, what one finds when one looks under a rock!
