Abstract
-
en_US
Now here is a quintessential ephemeral find! Only fifteen copies printed! And we have two of them! This copy #1 is one of five copies printed on Japanese paper. There is a line-cut for each of the four fables. TH has a typical floral headpiece with the hare at its center. I presume that the cock standing tall in "The Eagle and the Cocks" is the winner whose arrogance cost him his life. Wittiest of the line-cuts is the bespectacled crow with a book in his claw. The owl above "The Owl and the Birds" is appropriately dark. As the text says, "She sits moping and pondering on the folly of her kind." This copy has a red cover. The binding is beautifully sewn. What a fortunate find!
