Abstract
A beautiful book in excellent condition. The illustrations are very well reproduced. Poltarnees' introduction speaks of his planned Encyclopedia of Dressed Animals. Two illustrations here are taken from fable books. The first under M for Mouse is Winter's illustration of TMCM for The Aesop for Children and Aesop's Fables for Children (both published in 1919). It is insufficiently labeled Milo Winter, magazine illustration, n.d. Winter may also have published the illustration in a magazine, but the tie with TMCM seems likely to have originated the picture. The other is Billinghurst's wolf from A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine (1900/20?, 1983, and 1988 twice). The back endpaper's cat selling SumpfbrÀu is delightful!
