Abstract

en_US
This book duplicates in hardbound a paperbound book already in the collection. In fact, it seems to include the paperbound cover at the back of this hardbound copy. It continues to impress me with its art. As I wrote there, the T of C at the end of this lovely book lists fifty-two fables. Besides the title-page illustration of King Lion (the same as on the cover), I find the following three-color woodcuts: Mor Zvirat (16), Sedlak a Medved (24), Mnohozenstvi (40), Vlk a Beranek (48), Osel a Sedlak (64), Rybi Tanec (72), Sedlak a Beranek (89), and Kun a Jezdec (97). The "Sedlak a Beranek" illustration recently appeared on Ebay, selling as an individual signed woodcut with a beginning price of $49. I presume that the woodcut was not taken from a copy of the book because it boasts a signature, and the book's copy does not. The illustrations make this book worth many times the price I paid.
