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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The Favourite Book of Fables, With Numerous Illustrations
(Thomas Nelson and Sons, 1891)
This book is identical with the 1890 (first?) edition, except for the changed date on the title-page. I am especially delighted to find it because my copy of the 1890 edition has two torn pages, and this copy is in good ...
The Book of Fables
(Sheldon Blakeman & Co.,, 1850)
This little (5½x almost 4½) volume answers a question raised earlier by a volume with the same bibliographical information. That book consisted of conundrums, and I wondered if the printer made a mistake. This little ...
Aesop's Fables for the Instruction and Improvement of Youth
(John McGowanPrinted by John M'Gowan, 1838)
This is one of the fattest little (4¼ x 5½) books I have. It is really two volumes bound together, both dated to the same year on their title pages. Each volume has a T of C at its beginning. The first volume has one ...
Aesop's Fables
(J. B. Lippincott & Co., 1873)
This little book in only fair condition seems to reproduce the 1873 version published by Strahan. Like that earlier version from a different publisher, this little book has a green-and-gold embossed cover. The plates are ...
Aesop's Fables
(Cassell Petter, and Galpin,, 1873)
That this is a second edition, as the title-page proclaims, seems clear. The book has the same format, cover design, pagination as the first edition, done perhaps in 1869. See my comments there. The cloth cover has ...
Aesop's Fables
(Western Book Seller's Publishing House ; published and sold by B.F. Ells, 1860)
This is a 32-page pamphlet about 3½ x 5 with thin paper covers and a sewn ribbon binding. Unfortunately 21-28 are missing here. On both covers a young girl sits with a book spread in her lap. As it is, there are eleven ...
