Fabeln
Fabeln is a German-language collection of fables by Hagedorn, Gleim, Lichtwer and Schellenberg, published in 1777 by Heinrich Steiner und Compagnie, and held by the Swiss children's media institute SIKJM. The hand-coloured copper-engraved plates, numbered Fab. 12, Fab. 13 and so on, show animal and human scenes set in woodland and open country. A designer might draw on their soft, leafy landscapes and the fable-style staging of animals acting like people.
