Abstract
I believe that this book might be Bodemann 277.8. The title-page of the first volume does not indicate Neue Ausgabe or Neue Zeichnungen. But in fact the illustrations seem to be those, not of the first edition of each volume (1833 and 1837, respectively) but of the Neue Ausgabe that started in 1852. Thus the crow faces left and the background now presents a strong picture of a housefront with porch. The snowman in #3 leans back as four children pelt him with snowballs. True to Bodemann's description of #277.8, the pages are printed on both sides. Except for Noch, the two title-pages are identical. Whereas Perthes had done some editions in the meantime in Hamburg, both of these are again set in Gotha. Pagination, fresh in both cases, is only in the two appendices. After the appendix in the second portion comes the Nachschrift an die Eltern. Bodemann describes this as a Neudruck als Jubiläumsausgabe and dates it to 1883. Though this book has had heavy usage, it may have some of the best prints of the illustrations among all my Hey/Speckter volumes.
