Abstract
This Swiss edition of Hey's 1833 original would fit somewhere in Bodemann 277. The illustrations present something of a question. They are unlike any edition I yet know. The introduction contains this comment: The Verlagsbuchhandlung spared no cost to have the pictures newly cut and to give the child's book a lovely appearance. Does this statement suggest that the conception of the illustrations belongs to Speckter, while their execution fell to an anonymous engraver? In any case, the crow of the first story looks left, but the scene around him is roughly that of the right-facing editions like Perthes' Schulausgabe, which I have listed under 1845?. The snowman (5) is presented in entirely new fashion, with eleven children and a dog busy around and on him. Pages are numbered and printed on both sides. The script is Gothic. The appendix runs from 53 through 77. A T of C follows, which presents only the fables. This book has a canvas spine, and a black-and-white picture on the cover of two seated children reading a book.
