Abstract

This is a lovely little pearl. Unfortunately, its seller knew how valuable this pearl is! Wolfle writes of it Erste Ausgabe dieser liebenswerten und öfter aufgelegten kleinen Fabelsammlung. It is indeed liebenswert! I have seldom seen such lovely color work. Bodemann #386.1. As Bodemann mentions, there are here 79 verse and prose fables from a wide variety of authors, from Aesop through Luther to Goethe and Willamov. The 65 initials and 317 smaller illustrations, many of them Bildreihen zu den Versfabeln. There is a clear arrangement at work every pair of pages. A half-page colored illustration is at the upper left. Beneath it is a fable with a colored initial. It may spill over onto the right hand page, where it will often have a colored tailpiece. Further fables, with initials and tailpieces follow down the right-hand page and finish within that page. Favorites of mine include the large illustrations for Der Einsiedler und der Bär (26), WC (28), and Der Wolf auf dem Todbette (44). Among the smaller images excellent examples are DS (47) and Der Greis und der Tod (59). The use of small images to mark rows of verse is strongest in the case of Die Geschichte von dem Hute (40-42). Among the stories themselves, new to me -- and well illustrated in all three images -- is Der Affe und die Uhr (50-51). A good last image is that marking Ende on 67: a cat has a mouse by the tail. There is a T of C on 1 with some of the smallest print I have seen. On the cover is a fox playing a violin while two mice dance. This book is a personal favorite!
