Aesop's Fables
(Grosset and Dunlap, 1848)
Here is the first of three extra copies of the blue-covered version of this book. This book has the same text and illustrations as the earlier Grosset and Dunlap edition (1890?). Very good runs on the illustrations here. ...
Aesop's Fables Complete
(J.B. Lippincott & Co., 1858)
Here is one of my earliest Tenniel editions. From what I can gather, it should more properly be called a Tenniel/Wolf edition, since I think the reworked illustrations were already done in 1851. This book may be quite ...
The Marvelous Library, No. 45: Aesop's Fables
(Franklin News Company, 1886)
Here is a curious piece of preserved ephemera. It is a 16-page oversized (8¼ x 11?) pamphlet with a thread binding. After its masthead -- including a single number price of five cents -- and a title, Aesop's Fables, there ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version, Chiefly from Original Sources
(Porter & Coates, 1848)
This book is a near duplicate of a book I have already catalogued that was a gift of Edward Bodnar, S.J. What this printing adds is an address for Porter and Coates on the title-page and a printer on the verso of the ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Franklin Library, 1982)
A pretty but, I would say, misguided book. The thirty or so engravings from Grandville are very well presented. The putting together of Grandville, who illustrated LaFontaine, with two translators of Aesop has its problems. ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources
(John Murray, 1867)
Here is a 1912 reprinting of a book I already have listed as the 1911 third edition. Inscribed at Christmas, 1913. See my comments there. This reprinting lacks the advertisements after the index at the back. In a curious ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources.
(John Murray, 1867)
This little book, marked as the third edition, is almost identical with my 1867/74 Murray edition. This copy lists a first edition in 1874 and a second in 1898. See my comments under 1867/74. I will note the differences ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Platt & Peck Co., 1860?)
A small edition with a crazy colored frontispiece of a fox and a grapevine; this art doubles as the front cover decoration. All of Tenniel's 108 engravings are here; this edition counts SW for two illustrations, whereas ...
Fourteen Fables of Aesop
(University of Cincinnati, 1957)
The title continues "From the very earliest versions of Caxton and the translations of Thomas James." This book was designed and printed by Dick Binzer in fulfillment of the requirements set forth by the College of Applied ...
Aesop's Fables
(Grosset & Dunlap, 1848)
I am adding this copy to the collection because it improves on some of the features in a copy I already have. This copy does change one feature in the book I have already catalogued: it adds Made in the United States of ...
