Abstract

en_US Here are three black-and-white and four colored illustrations brought together in what is apparently a production by a graduating student of this school of arts. Walter Brudi in his foreword has this to say: "Die Zeichnungen wurden von der Künstlerin selbst in einem fast schon in Vergessenheit geratenen Verfahren unter Ausschluß der Reproduktionsphotographie in vier Farben einzeln auf Folien gezeichnet; dadurch blieb die persönliche Handschrift - ähnlich wie bei einer Original-Lithographie- erhalten." The fables chosen here make a fascinating group. In the first, tamed doves are used to lure wild doves into nets. The latter complain but the former respond that they need to look more to their owners than to their relatives. The second has two fish arguing over rank. The closing remark is "Which of us will draw a greater price when we are caught?" In the most dramatic illustration, a crow means to feast on a snake and instead receives a deadly bite. A less reality-bound illustration has a wise rooster claim "I have seen many sacks but none ever bit like a marten!" 14" x 19". This volume, one of the largest-formatted in the collection, had to wait years to be catalogued.
