The Fables of Aesop: Selected, told anew and their history traced
(F.M. Lupton Publishing Company, 1894)
"This small edition (4½" x 6") edition shares several curious features with the other six like it in format but perhaps a half inch taller: Caldwell 1894/1900? (red roses against a gold background on cover); Caldwell ...
The Fables of Aesop
(The Book League of America, 1929)
This book duplicates and recognizes MacMillan's printings -- some fourteen of them -- between 1894 and 1929. It lacks the typical frontispiece of FS. The cover is red cloth with a simple printer's design on the front. ...
Aisopo Pasakos
(Spausdino Tevynes Spaustuveišleido V.K. Račkauskas, 1914)
This book seems to have been a grandfather of a book I received from Ann Ramagos, CSJ, in 1993: Ezopo Pasakos, published by UAB Algita in 1991. This is a hardbound version of some 346 pages, with illustrations by only ...
Fables of Aesop
(Bay View Publishing Co.[Bay View Pub. Co.], 1894)
This book compares in rough fashion with the four mentioned together under 1894/1901?, but it has a number of distinctive features. The other four begin fables on 26 and end on 202 with And this is the end of Aesop's ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Macmillan Company, 1894)
The special value of this reprinting of Jacobs' work lies in the dust-jacket, which is in fair to good condition. It reproduces the garishly colored frontispiece found in the many reprints that Macmillan did of the ...
The Fables of Aesop Selected and Told Anew
(DeWolfe Fiske & Co.,, 1910)
Here is yet another reprinting of Jacobs and Heighway. This book (5¼ x 6¾) adds several features that I think I have not yet found in a Jacobs/Heighway edition. First it uses the curious phrase Profusely Illustrated on ...
The Fables of Aesop, Selected, Told Anew and Their History Traced
(Albert Whitman & Co., 1920)
By my best count, this is the seventeenth version I have of Heighway and Jacobs' work. This is a simple and smaller book than many (4½ x 6¾). It acknowledges neither Jacobs nor Heighway, but it does have J.J. as the ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Schocken Books, 1894)
This book is an almost exact reproduction of another in the collection, dated 1894/1979. This version was printed in 1982 and is listed as a sixth printing. The curious feature of the book is that the line on its cover ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Dover Publications, 1894)
Dover picks up here from Shocken books and offers a very inexpensive Aesop with good reproductions of the Heighway drawings. In format the book is slightly larger and slightly slimmer. The twenty pages of notes at the ...
The Fables of Aesop
(The Macmillan Co., 1894)
Identical with the 1929 printing of the 1894 edition except for the gaudy coloring of the frontispiece (a red fox and yellow grass!), the thick cheap paper, and the notation on the back of the title page that there was a ...
