Dreißig Fabeln mit Bildern

J. F. W., Wegener · 1858 · Wigand · 28 pictures

Dreißig Fabeln mit Bildern is a German illustrated collection of thirty fables, published by Wigand in 1858 and credited to J. F. W. and Wegener, aimed at a general readership. The pictures are black-and-white wood engravings, each framed above a title and a block of German text, with animals acting as people: a lion and tiger in a forest, a boar among sheep, a crowded animal assembly, and beasts gathered around a sick figure. A designer might borrow the compact fable-plate layout, the crowded group compositions, and the expressive animal postures.
