Abstract
This book is unusual first of all in its lively designs imprinted in various colors on the gray cloth cover. They are of a piece with the extensive art work inside the book. These include a two-sided introductory page for each of the twenty-seven Russian fabulists represented, a tailpiece for each of the twenty-seven, and designs for almost every fable along the way. The fabulist featured just before Krylov receives this treatment for his one fable on 305-8. The introductory art for Krylov is typical: it includes various characters on the page giving his name and a strong illustration for FC on the verso. Krylov has the largest number of fables. Others with a significant representation here include Sumarokov on 43, Khemnitser on 141, Sukanov on 261, Izmaylov on 429, and Michalkov on 509.
