Abstract
This fascinating work is a set of five folded pages -- each with four folds about 4" by 8¼' -- brought together in a slipcase that offers a title on one side and a T of C on the other. For safety's sake, I am listing this work both as a book and as a set of printed woodcuts. The five fabulists are Gotthold Ehraim Lessing. Five fascinating fable texts are transformed into strong woodcuts, 3½" by up to 4½". It seems to me that the texts all have something to do with reverencing art. I am delighted to have come across this unusual effort! The five fabulists and their works are Gotthold Ephraim Lessing: "Die Furien." Magnus Gottfried Lichtwerd: "Die beraubte Fabel." Christian Fuerchtegott Gellert: "Der Leichtsinn." Ivan Krylow: "Der Parnass." And Daniel Schiebeler: "Pyreneus und die Musen."
