The illustrations are by Willy Pog\u00e1ny, the forty-four fairy tales<\/a> were collected and translated by Ign\u00e1cz Kunos. This wasn’t the first edition of Kunos’s book which dates back to 1889, but Pog\u00e1ny’s edition must be one of the most heavily illustrated, with drawings in a variety of styles throughout. The tipped-in plates look like woodcuts which is a style I’ve not seen from Pog\u00e1ny before. Elsewhere there are many comic demons and monsters rather like the kinds of things Sidney Sime used to enjoy inventing. And many Orientalist motifs, of course The Internet Archive copy isn’t dated but other sites give a date of 1913. This copy is also poorly hand-painted in places. Sacred Texts<\/a> has the illustrations sans daubings.<\/p>\n
