Abstract
Here are eleven fables, with good black-and-white illustrations for each. I recognize many from the two English translations of Saltykov-Shchedrin's work I have. They are listed under 1941/76 and 1965? However, the spectacular feature of this book is its three colored inserts, perhaps hand-painted. The first, presumably for Bears in Government, has a bear up in the rafters on 48. The second, presumably for The Idealist Crucian, shows a gathering of fish on 80. The third, presumably for Faithful Trésor, is on 89 showing a dog and his master's chain. This copy from Zachary comes complete with a photograph, which I presume to depict Saltykov-Shchedrin, perhaps from the book's one-time dust jacket.
