St Petersburg, A. F. Devrien, 1911

£1,500

A fine example of this profusely illustrated edition of Krylov's fables by the Georgian artist Alphonse Zhaba, a student of Franz Roubaud.

Ivan Krylov (1769-1844) is Russia's best known fabulist. While many of his earlier fables were loosely based on Aesop's and La Fontaine's, later fables were original work, often satirising the incompetent bureaucracy that stifled social progress at the time.
