Aesop's Fables
(Geo.S. AppletonGeorge S. Appleton, 1848)
I cannot believe the proliferation of distinct Tenniel editions! This one represents a wonderful gift. A quick check has already revealed several illustrations different from, but modeled on, the original 1848 illustrations. ...
The Caldecott Aesop
(Doubleday, 1883)
Lovely stuff, though the pictures are sometimes so bound to the contemporary social and political setting that it is hard for us to see the point. DLS is particularly good, with a skillful modern instance. Valuable ...
Aesop's Fables
(Dover Publications, 1994)
I presume that the text is largely Rundell's. 92 fables with plentiful but simple illustrations. DS has the most obvious reflection-dog I have seen yet. MSA (19) has the donkey perched on the pole the way he is for ...
Aesop: Fables
(David Campbell Publishers Ltd., 1992)
Identical with the adjacent book published as a Borzoi Book by Alfred A. Knopf. This British/European version is published by David Campbell and distrubted by Random House (UK) Ltd. Thus the only difference in the book ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(Hurst & Company, 1910?)
This book is done from the same plates as three others with the same title: from Allison in 1884, Worthington in 1887, and Phoenix in 1892. This edition has the dubious distinction of displaying two young men--a golfer ...
A Type Specimen of Baskerville: Several Fables of Aesop.
(Harold Berliner, 1971)
Six fables from Handford's Penguin translation give Berliner a chance to show off specimens of his lovely type, specifically 12 point Roman, Bold, and Italic and 8 point, 10 point, and 12 point Roman with Italic. Wonderful, ...
A Type Specimen of Lutetia: Several Fables of Aesop.
(Harold Berliner, Printer, 1970)
Six fables from Handford's Penguin translation give Berliner a chance to show off specimens of his lovely type, specifically Lutetia 12D Roman and Italic, 14D Roman and Italic, and 16D Roman.. Good woodblock illustrations ...
Aesop's Fables (Cover: Classics to Grow on)
(Parents' Magazine Press, 1964)
See my 1964 Aesop's Fables in the Keepworthy Classics series. This seems to be the very same book, perhaps with superficial changes like a name in the series. See my comments there, and check the particulars of the two ...
Bewick's Select Fables: With Engraved Illustrations of the Original Woodcuts
(Hillside Press, 1965)
Here is the original of the cheaper 1974 edition that I had found earlier. This edition adds the numbering and a dust jacket. I also think the paper and binding are superior. It was done at the Hillside Press itself, ...
The Fables of Aesop: Selected, told anew and their history traced by Joseph Jacobs
(Pathfinder Publishing Co., 1894)
This small (4½ x 6½) edition shares several curious features with the other five like it in format: Home Book Company 1894/95? (plain tan cover with title); Montgomery Ward 1894/98 (La Belle Library on cover); Caldwell ...
