Abstract

This is a very curious little pamphlet. It is Volume 17 of a series that began appearing in January of 1827 and kept appearing every Saturday. Each little installment contains four fables in four languages on green-tinted paper, with four full-page illustrations on white paper. This looks as though it is a descendant of Joseph Frister's work in 1818 (Bodemann #233). Curiously this Heft #17 contains Fables XX through XXIII (pages 77 through 92). The four fables are Die Ameise und die Taube, Die Fliege, Der Bauer und seine Kinder, and Die Wolf und der Bauerin. The names connecting this pamphlet with Bodemann #233 are Perger, Gerstner, and Belling. In the first illustration, I think we find Berger rather than Perger. Does that fact suggest that we are dealing with an engraving done after Perger rather than by him?
