These fine illustrations show that Aesopic fables remain material on which good artists develop their style. My favorites from these strong works include Klaus Eberlein's FC with its strong figures and lovely colors, Herbert F. Plahl's "The Statue-Seller" with its heavy musculature and curious facial expression, and Eduard Prüssen's FC with its firm designs
