Abstract

en_US Here is a lovely old edition in full leather with marbled endpapers. I have not taken time with the text at this point. I enjoy the illustrations too much. These seem to be slightly changed imitations of Kaulbach's work. My favorite illustration may have been toned down here: the cat attacks the local priest, as his horrified mistress looks on (43). The preface claims that this publication marks the first time that Kaulbach has been reproduced in England (v). That preface notes that Kaulbach's work appeared first in 1846 and that those illustrations were republished in reduced size by Cotta in 1857. This edition is taken from that Cotta edition. I am surprised to see the preface touting this book as available at a moderate price (v). Fable material comes in clearly in the illustrations of horse and wolf (132) and of wolf and crane (172). Stamped and inscribed at the end of the preface as belonging to Edward A. Le Roy in 1872.
