One of Jeanne Bieruma Oosting's most famous "folders" is her "The Cricket and the Ant, and Other Fables by Jean La Fontaine," published in 1945 by Strengholt, Amsterdam.
Jeanne Oosting began this series of twelve etchings before the Second World War and continued working on them during the war. After the liberation, she was eager to have the series published quickly.
La Fontaine's Fables became a deluxe, yet distinctive, edition. J.W.F. Werumeus Buning, with whom Oosting had a brief affair and who is not mentioned on the cover, did write an explanatory note for each fable, but did not consider it necessary to translate them.
The edition was limited to 1,000 copies, numbered and signed by Jeanne and the author. This is number 45.
The etchings themselves are signed in the plate: JO
The etchings confirmed Jeanne Oosting's status as one of the most gifted Dutch graphic artists of her time.
The cover is slightly discolored. The etchings, like the rest of the interior, are in perfect condition.
Book: 31x23cm. 55 pages.
(For a good insight into the life, work, and importance of Jeanne Oosting, the biography "No Time to Lose," written by Jolande Withuis, is highly recommended.)
