Abstract

Here are 144 pages of glorious Reynard illustrations and objects taken from all sorts of areas of art production, each object matched with a short section of Goethe text. Herr von Fuchs has assembled a fascinating array of responses to the Reynard story, from cards and figurines to clocks and puppets. His approach here helps to bring together the literary work with a prodigious array of artistic activity. The book contains only a few illustrations proper to fables. A first set illustrates The Horse and the Wolf (107-110). Three of these four are trade cards. The other is a ceiling relief from Seligenstadt bei Hanau showing Isengrim and Maehre. The second set comes from the episode in which the stork retrieves a bone from the wolf's throat. There is first a small sculpture made out of a walrus tooth in Lettland about 1930 (117). There is also Der Kranich und der Wolf from the deck of cards titled Deutsche Tierfabeln put out by the Altenburger Spielkartenfabrik, Poessneck, DDR, 1989 (118).
