Abstract

en_US Here is a little book almost 4 x 5¾ that has seen some tumultuous times! A canvas spine joins red-and-black boards. A portrait of Krylov opens the book, followed by three pages presumably reporting Krylov's life. The Cyrillic typesetting seems unusual to me. It has almost a typewritten look. There follows a title-page that gives no information beyond that listed in the title line above. The fables begin then on 3 and run through 367. Does the 1806 on 3 mean that the organization here is chronological? The final elements in the book are an AI and a catalogue of books, presumably those available from the publisher, whose name I have deciphered as well as I could. The fine feature of this little volume is the illustrations. Every fable seems to have a small design. Often these are integrated with an initial. There are also fine full-page illustrations and almost-full page illustrations integrated with the fable. Good examples of the full-page illustrations are OF (12), Elephant and Pug (38), Quartet (81), and WC (195). A good example of a large illustration well integrated with its text is FC (10). The full-page illustrations are signed by artist and engraver, but the signatures are too small to be clearly legible. Not in Bodemann.
