Abstract

This book looks like the original of the book I had already catalogued from Meisinger Verlag in Munich in 1987. Notice that the cover here has simply La Fontaine/Fabeln/Bilder von Eva Hülsmann. The cover there has Der Hahn/Fabeln/von Jean de La Fontaine/Bilder von Eva Hülsmann. As I mention there, the art here is contemporary and involves lavish crayon-acrylic drawings. The best are the the patient cat and the centerfold of the frogs and crane. Several stories are told unusually: the deer sees himself in a mirror (as a dog watches), and the rabbit and turtle are in a house. Did Meisinger take the book over from a smaller publisher that had done it earlier? Meisinger changed the ISBN and added a barcode on the back cover. Curiously, the Meisinger copy does not mention Fabula Verlag at all. As there, the endpapers here at the back of the book are the reverse of those at the front.
