Faules de Isop, Filosof Moral y de Altres Famosos Autors
(Estampa de Torras, 1885)
""Corregidas de nou." The closing T of C lists eight books. The sixth is attributed to Remicius. The full-page representation of Aesop is surprising: he is a handsome hunchback. The pose is that of Steinhöwel's Aesop ...
Fables in Verse
(Brown, Bazin, & Co, 1855)
"Twenty-six years ago I bought a first copy of this book at Renaissance in Milwaukee. Here is a second copy in poorer condition. It has the same printer's error listed below. I keep it in the collection because it is a ...
Truths and Fables (Cover: Truths, Fables, and Pictuers [sic])
(Wm. J. Reynolds and Co., 1848)
"Here is a curious melange that starts with a misspelling on the front cover! Next, after one endpaper, follows a title-page "Truths and Fables" with the words framed by eight medallions of typical family scenes. At the ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(J. Casterman, 1800)
This is a curious little book. I enjoy thoroughly its seventy woodcuts, two to a page, with an indication for each of the page of the fable to which the illustration belongs. Each illustrated fable also has a reference ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Hector Bossange, 1828)
Édition Stéréotype, d'après le procédé de Firmin Didot. Book I is headed by a pleasant illustration of a plowman with bees in the background. Book VII is headed by a printer's design. Otherwise this little (3½ x 5¼) ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Blanchard/Chanal, 1814)
This fragile little book containing two volumes is Bodemann #223. It has a lovely frontispiece, which Bodemann reprints, of La Fontaine and Aesop writing under trees. The two authors are identified under the illustration. ...
Fables en Images
(Imagerie Pellerin - Epinal, 1860)
The cover of this oversized (almost 12 x 15½) book shows FC, along with the text for this fable. Inside this cover there are twenty-three posters or broadsides. The little binding that there was in this supersized pamphlet ...
Les Fables d'Ésope, mis en Français, Avec le sens moral, en quatre vers, à chaque Fable. Tome Premier
(Chez Billois, 1801)
Dédiée à la Jeunesse. Note that I have only the first volume. Not in Bodemann. A charming little book, not least for its few but lovely illustrations. After a word to youth, there is Planudes' life of Aesop, embellished ...
The Children's Picture Fable-Book Containing One Hundred and Sixty Fables
(Harper & Brothers Publishers,, 1861)
I have been very fortunate to find this second, brown-covered copy of a work which I already have in defective form. As I note under that 1861 book, found at Emerald City Fine Books, Eugene, OR, by mail in September of ...
Aesop's Fables Part I.
(Educational Publishing Company, 1894)
Here is a defective extra copy of this booklet. It lacks the cover and first page at either end of the pamphlet. This is a reproduction of the first nine fables of Aesop's Fables (1892) by the same author and publisher. ...
