Description

The illustrations were made by Alexander Pock (1871-1950), an Austrian genre and portrait painter, who before WWI illustrated for Meggendorfer-Blätter. This pro-monarchist book is very rare, as it would not be encouraged to read under the kingdom of Yugoslavia, and later under Tito s regime after WWII.

There are only four examples recorded in Slovenian libraries and one abroad Yale University Library.
