Aesop's Fables
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1898)
A very nice run of Griset and Croxall. The plates are identical with those in my Aesop's Fables (1893?) by Cassell. This book, I would guess, is the inexpensive reprint of that. Only the paper (cheaper here), the title ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Heritage Illustrated Bookshelf (The Heritage Press), 1941)
Almost identical with the Heritage Reprints edition. I presume now that this edition is actually a pre-war edition antedating that one. The chief distinguishing marks are a change from red here to brown there in the ...
Aesop's Fables
(Lothrop Publishing Company, 1901)
I am very happy to get a copy of Rundell's version, quoted by Hobbs on 102. The Griset illustrations are well done here. Still, this book's special offering lies in the four full-color illustrations. These often render ...
Basni Esopa (Russian)
(Izd. T-va I.D. Sytina, 1908)
The seller reports correctly that this volume contains fifty-two fables and eight drawings on its 88 pages. As it is unusual to find Aesop in France because of La Fontaine, so it is unusual, I think, to find Aesop in ...
Aisopou Mythoi Eklektoi/Fables Choisies d'Ésope; texte Grec, suivi des racines
(Imprimerie d'Auguste Delalain, 1834)
Nouvelle Edition avec Notes par A.M. The fable book takes up 66 pages. There are forty fables. Almost every commentary begins by identifying a parallel or source in Phaedrus, La Fontaine, Faerno, or Desbillons. The ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable.
(A.L. Burt Company Publ.,, 1895)
Two things distinguish this little book: its monosyllables and the mix of drawings. Besides the majority of them, which are taken from Percy Billinghurst, there are several in a different medium and style, most of which ...
Aesop's Fables
(Donohue Henneberry & Co.,, 1896)
This large-format book may be the best example in my collection of eclecticism and borrowing of established illustrations in late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century book publishing. At least three great Aesopic ...
Aesop's Fables Together with the Life of Aesop.
(Rand McNally, 1897)
This was one of the first books in my collection. I have come back to look at it again after reviewing a number of Dodsley editions, including the first in 1761 and Crukshank's in 1798. See my comments on those two books. ...
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and a Print Before Each Fable
(H. Mozley, 1807)
See my comments on the 1804 edition by the same publisher. By contrast, this book lacks the frontispiece and any title-page vignette; further its title above CJ on 1 (Aesop's Fables) is simpler, and the cuts are much ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Windsor Press, 1857)
The corpus of fables is identical with those in the many Parker/Bennett editions listed nearby but this edition is about a medium in thickness, where others are either fat or thin. The cheap paper deadens the black-and-white ...
