Title

Krylov Bazhenov

Description

1970? Ten cards displaying lively colored illustrations of Krylov's fables. The artist for these cards is A. Bazhenov. At least some of them seem to have been produced in Kaliningrad. Unknown source, July, '03. Extra copies of "A Quartet" (IV 1), "The Industrious Bear" (VI 23), and "Swan, Pike and Crab" (two copies, IV 5) for between $8 and $10 each from Vladislav Pronin, Brooklyn, through Ebay, Feb., '00 and April, '00. Extra copy of "The Monkey and the Mirror" for $5 from Igor Dalinin, Minsk, Belarus, through Ebay, June, '16

The image for IV 5 gives a clear sense that the three are pulling in different directions (up, down, and sideways); thus at least the former two cancel each other out. The industrious bear is trying to make bowed carriage harnesses in one action; the point is that this sort of work needs patience. Other great images here include the envelope's strong composite image, "The Cat and the Cook" (III 8), and "A Train of Carts" (II 20).
