Aesop's Fables (Aesops Fables on cover)
(M.A. Donohue & Co., 1900)
I include this book separately in the collection because of the publishing curiosities it presents. Basically, it is the same book as that listed under the same title, year, and publisher. It has the same cover illustration ...
Aesop's Fables
(Moffat Yard & Company,, 1905)
Sixteen wonderful colored illustrations in perfect condition, as well as about twenty less good etchings. The Fowler edition is inscribed in 1908; it is hard to believe that a 1905 book is in such good shape. LM (40), ...
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 ...
Aesop's Fables (down to up spine)
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1900)
This book is the same as that listed under the same title and year except that it prints McLoughlin Bros., New York on its cover, presents a leaf-pattern on its end papers, and has the title on the spine read from the ...
Aesop's Fables
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1900)
The colored frontispiece is, as the appraiser noted, what makes this book: it is lovely. This version of the book does not print McLoughlin Bros., New York on the cover, and the title on the spine reads from top to ...
The Animals of Aesop: Aesop's Fables Adapted and Pictured
(Dana Estes and Co., 1900)
I have been looking hard for this book since Ash and Higton featured it in their 1990 Aesop's Fables: A Classic Illustrated Edition. It now proves to be worth the hunting! Mora writes a moving introduction on his loss ...
Three Hundred Aesop's Fables Literally Translated from the Greek
(Optimus Printing Company, 1900)
This is a forerunner of the modern paperback book. Is it equivalent to a railroad book? It contains the full Three Hundred Aesop's Fables edition by Townsend and Weir, complete with the opening picture of an older man ...
Muthon Aisopeion Ekloge (Greek): Choix de Fables d'Ésope: Texte Grec suivi d'un lexique
(Maison Alfred Mame et Fils, 1900)
The first surprise in this little book of 84 pages is the Jesuit seal on the title-page. Where does that come from? A two-page notice on Aesop precedes some forty-one Greek fables on 26 pages. A Greek-French dictionary ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Hodder & Stoughton, 1909)
First published in 1909 by Hodder and Stoughton. This edition ©1981 by Hodder and Stoughton. Illustrations separately printed and pasted in with protective sheets. A much nicer edition than the Crown edition (1985). ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Hodder and Stoughton, 1909)
I am delighted to find at last an early Detmold; the good copy is inscribed in 1912. The colored illustrations are lovely. Apparently the frontispiece (TMCM) is missing in both copies. The illustrations are separately ...
