Abstract

en_US This is a wonderful treasure. It is a canvas-bound book of some eighty pages with a wealth of black-and-white photoreproductions of illustrations of Krilov's work. A foreword includes several illustrations of fables from Russian books--or more likely manuscripts--before Krilov's time: FS, Death and the Woodcutter, and FG. Then comes an extensive bibliography, apparently of thirty-one individual fables and their illustrations. The dates here for the illustrations seem to range from 1856 to 1902; the fables themselves are dated chronologically from 1806 to 1830. Those dates fit with all that I have learned from Quinnam, Stepanov, and Ralston. There follow in the next chapter thirty-six pages of photoreproductions. As far as I can tell, these are a selection of the items listed in the preceding chapter. Thus the first illustration here, FC on 37, relates to the one listing under Item II on 14 in the bibliography chapter. Other illustrations that I can recognize present The Old Man and Three Youths, The Box, Death and the Woodman, Elephant and Pug, The Rich Man and the Cobbler, The Cat and the Cook, The Soup of Master John, The Swan, the Pike, and the Crab, The Pig and the Oak, The Three Townies, and two great collections (frontispiece and 72). The Pig and the Oak on 69 seems to satirize the Germans in 1914. After these photoreproductions, there follow an AI of fables, an AI of proper names, a list of illustrations, and a T of C.
