Abstract

en_US
Here is a book that invites comparison with a paperbound version bearing the same title from the same publisher. They have the same picture on their front covers and they present the same fables. This hardbound version adds three colored illustrations and the whole book is differently typeset. Since the Gothic capitals here are more ornate, I am thus guessing that this edition was earlier. I guessed at a date of 1932 for that book; I will guess at 1915 for this one. There is a significant amount of penciling on various pages. Its final page has a threefold Berichtigung touching the three illustrations by correcting the page on which each fable pictured can be found. The paperback version had no interior illustrations. The three colored illustrations here are The Monkey and the Miser; The Monkey as King; and The Ass and the Hare. They are quite nice! As I commented there, the closing T of C shows that there are ninety-one fables packed into this eighty-page booklet. Some of the texts are prose and some verse; all are in Gothic script. All that I have sampled are traditional Aesopic fable material. The cover picture presents a fox doffing his hat to a rabbit who seems wounded. Bardtenschlager is now in Stuttgart. Somewhere between 1899 and 1935, the firm moved from Stuttgart to Reutlingen and was still publishing there in 1969.
