Abstract
-
en_US
This is a small octavo with papered boards. Signed by the illustrator. #15 of 20 handprinted and handbound copies, by the artist. This book is whimsically bound in rose, with white flowers. Unpaginated. Delightful fables with adorable linocuts in blue. The last fable, FS, gets two illustrations. All others get one: TB, WC, DS, LM, GGE, TH, DLS, The Fox and the Goat. There is an irony here. I believe that there are ten illustrations but only nine fables. The box is in gray papered boards with a linocut LM in blue and white affixed -- the same LM linocut that is on the title-page. The LM illustration with the fable is more expansive. Signed by the artist on the limitations page. What a rare find! Floethe was born in Germany, worked in New York, and died in 1988.
