For me, the illustrations are an integral part of the books.
I assume you mean AR's illustrations - perhaps an integral part of the traditional green Cape hardbacks, but not necessarily of the translations, which are books in their own right. Why shouldn't a Czech publisher use a well-established professional artist such Zdenek Burian? A publisher of a new English edition of Hans Christian Andersen would not be happy at being forced to use the original Danish illustrations at the insistence of the Danes.
