Abstract

en_US Here is a third copy of a book with some slight changes in presentation, particularly the front cover. Other copies came to us in June of 2004 from Protek Trading Company and in August of 2017 from Yegyan Karo. This third iteration has a cover using orange and aqua for a central cameo frame for author, title, publisher and date. Above and below this oval are black silhouettes and designs of typical Krylov fable characters. The T of C in this printing does not have an elaborate handwritten title, and it includes reference to Nikolai Tikhonov's opening essay on Krylov and fables. The stamps on the colophon page here read "T 125 12" and "T125 23." As I wrote of the other two copies, this book seems a standard presentation of Krylov's fables, with a rich assortment of A. Laptyev's 1947 illustrations. Might they perhaps have been done for this edition and then used extensively elsewhere? The T of C at the end lists seventy-eight fables on the book's 147 pages. The only illustrations are full-page black-and-white presentations, and I count twenty of them. Most represent well-known fables from either Krylov or La Fontaine, from "Quartet" and "The Monkey and the Spectacles" to WL and "The Elephant and the Cat."
