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 ...
Die Fabeln des Äsopus/Fables d'Esope/Favole di Esopo/Fabulae Aesopi I
((Joseph Frister), 1806)
"Here is a real prize! Two volumes each contain 45 Aesopic fables presented in the same format: a full-page (about 5" x 7½") illustration on more substantive paper and then a page each for German, French, Italian, and ...
Aesop's Fables for Little Readers
(T. Fisher Unwin, 1880)
"Here is a book internally identical with another in the collection. Where that book has a blue cloth cover, this book has a red cloth cover. As I wrote then, there seems to be no indication in this book of when this ...
Die Fabeln des Äsopus/Fables d'Esope/Favole di Esopo/Fabulae Aesopi II
((Joseph Frister), 1807)
"Here is a real prize! Two volumes each contain 45 Aesopic fables presented in the same format: a full-page (about 5" x 7½") illustration on more substantive paper and then a page each for German, French, Italian, and ...
The Fables of Aesop with Designs on Wood
(Paddington Press Ltd: Two Continents Publishing Group, 1818)
A fascinating book which deserves a good deal of study. The reproductions seem quite good. The tail-pieces, little pictures after each fable, are particularly fascinating. Some come back on the fable. A valuable book, ...
Aesop's Fables
(Bobley: Children's Classics Library, 1899)
A good example of a cheap knockoff reprint of an earlier work. See the editions dated 1899?, 1900, 1902, 1925, 1930, and 1930?. The text is identical with the non-expanded JBR versions, but the morals are omitted. ...
Bennett's Fables from Aesop and Others
(Viking Press, 1857)
Lively and delightful illustrations, here reproduced vividly. If there is a problem with Bennett's wonderful pictures, it is that the social commentary is so pointed that we lose or miss something as we view them in a ...
Ésope: Le Renard Qui Avait la Queue Coupée et Autres Fables.
(Enfantimages: Éditions Gallimard, 1857)
Beautifully reproduced colored pictures of seventeen fables from Bennett. The color work may be superior to that in editions from this country. The clever cover-picture is not included inside the book. The Wolf in the ...
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 in Verse
(Andrew Elliot, 1877)
Here is a curious observation. This book is printed by Ballantyne, Hanson, and Company in Edinburgh and London. Might the author here be a member of the family of the printer? As the opening T of C shows, there is a ...
