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
(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
(John Murray, 1848)
Though I had never found an 1848/1852 edition before, I found this and the almost identical 1848/52 hardbound edition within one week. Excellent copies of the illustrations. Reading for the Rail books are advertised on ...
Aesop's Fables
(John Murray, 1848)
A beautiful hardbound edition with a gold-embossed cover. Notice that in this edition, unlike all others I have, James is not listed on the title page as Rev. Excellent presentation of the engravings, which may be less ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources. Forty-Eighth Thousand.
(John Murray, 1863)
Here I think I have an early copy of Wolf's revision of Tenniel's work. Somewhere I have learned that Tenniel's original 1848 work published by Murray apparently got such a negative response that, before reissuing it (in ...
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 ...
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
(Collins & Brother, 1848)
This beautiful book with gilt-embossed green cover (FS) and spine is clearly in the family represented by the 1848/48? edition from Collins and Brother. It shares with that edition the limitation to more than fifty ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources
(John Murray, 1867)
Here is another copy of the book first published in 1867. This copy is covered in blue cloth, but with a beautiful golden illustration with title and author embedded in the front cover. As I remark elsewhere, Tenniel's ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version, Chiefly from Original Sources
(Henry T. Coates, 1848)
This book is interiorly identical with an edition I have listed under 1848/1880? and purchased from Laurie. Its differences from that volume include slightly smaller pages, poorer printing, the change from Porter and ...
