The number of the editions is no longer mentioned. In the first volume a preface by the author, Johan Jacob Antonie Goeverneur (1809-1889), is present, dated at Groningen, September 27, 1888. In it Goeverneur looks back to more than half a century of publication of his fable books. He is pleased that the Leeuwarden publisher, Suringar, took over his fable books from Van Boekeren in Groningen at an early date, and he is also much pleased that the illustrations now are newly made by the famous Dutch animal artist Otto Eerelman (1839-1926). Eerelman was especially famous for his horse portraits, which he both painted and produced in luxurious chromo-lithographs. Eerelman was born in Groningen, but also worked at Paris, Brussels, and in The Hague. For the present chromo-lithographs he made almost one hundred beautiful designs of all kinds of birds and animals, mostly in the company of small children. All volumes still have at the end some educational nursery rhymes for the children to learn by heart. At the end of our second and third volume publisher's advertisements are added. Fine set, rarely found complete.
Coll. Tak p. 260 (the 2nd and 4th volume); Cf. Cat. De Koning 603 (ed. of 1882, published in one vol.).
