The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables.
(American Book Exchange, 1880)
The plates are identical with those in the Arlington Edition by Hurst which I have listed under 1899?, but the pages are thinner and the reproduction of Griset's work is excellent. The Finis page here occurs by mistake ...
Fables Selected from the Works of Northcote, Bewick, and Others
(Alexander Blake, 1843)
There are 114 fables here, listed in a T of C at the beginning. I have made acquiring this book an opportunity for looking over Northcote editions that I have. The 1833 John Murray edition has 101 fables, listed in an ...
Las Fábulas de Esopo con las de Samaniego y de Iriarte.
(Libraria de J. y A. BastinosLibreria de Juan y Antonio Bastinos, 1875)
This little book of 316 fables is fascinating for its selection of fables to include from its three fabulists. As far as I can tell from the prologue, it leaves out some of Aesop's fables as unsuitable for cultivated ...
The Child's Own Picture and Verse Book.
(Anderson and Ramsay printers, 28 Frankfort Street)James Miller, 1864)
A wonderful little squarish book in very good condition. Ninety-seven verse fables, each in a standard format: a text, ten to fifteen lines long, on the left page is echoed in a framed illustration on the right page. ...
Select Fables of Esop and Other Fabulists
(Printed for William Osborne and John Mozely (sic?), GainsboroughPrinted for Willm. Osborne & J & H Mozley Gainsborough,, 1850)
This is a small book, with separated covers. T of C on 229, with morals listed. The coarse woodcuts are intact. There is a compelling beginning picture of Aesop. Only the first book contains Aesop, in fact fifty-four ...
Select Fables of Aesop and Other Fabulists
(Printed for William Osborne and J & H Mozley, GainsboroughPrinted for Willm. Osborne & J.H. Mozley, 1850)
This is a small book, falling apart. It is almost identical with other Dodsley editions, but a quick check of the frontispiece and title page shows clear differences, additions and subtractions. The book's condition is ...
Aesop in Rhyme, with Some Originals
(Printed for Baldwin Cradock, and Joy, Paternoster Row,, 1821)
A wonderful little book. The simple engravings are utterly charming. The best of them and of the fables may be Aesop's Trial (frontispiece and last fable), at which Aesop explains to the hostile beasts that the fables ...
Fables Original and Selected
(D. Appleton & CO, 1869)
This book reproduces completely, as far as I can tell, the edition I have listed under 1863. There is still a Presented To . . . and From . . . page just after the title-page. Book I's insignia page here comes before, ...
Select Fables with cuts, designed and engraved by Thomas and John Bewick, and others, previous to the year 1784: together with a Memoir; and a descriptive Catalogue of the works of Messrs. Bewick
(Baldwin Cradock, and Joy,Printed by S. Hodgson for Emerson Charnley et al, 1820)
One of the stars of my collection. See my comments on the 1975 facsimile. Excellent wood engravings here in a book I am thrilled to have found. After seeing reprints, it is so wonderful to see the original! Some pencil ...
Child's Own Fable Book
(Leavitt and Allen, 1860)
This fat little book includes two parts: Aesop's Fables (I) and Fables (II). It is an earlier (even first?) edition of a work I had found earlier and have listed under 1870? This work, like that, will delight those ...
