Aesop's Fables
(Ward Lock & Co.,, 1910)
Here is another little book with plenty of curiosities. It was done by Ward, Lock, & Company about the same time that they did a larger-format book with, apparently, the same texts and the same eight full-page colored ...
Aesop's Fables with Upwards of One Hundred and Fifty Emblematical Devices
(John Locken, 1849)
This very little book (3¼ x 4½) reproduces almost exactly my 1839 and 1841 editions from Thomas, Cowperthwait & Company, also in Philadelphia. It thus has 228 pages. This book has even smaller margins than those, and so ...
Mon Grand Livre de Fables d'Ésope
(Tournesol S.A.R.L., 1989)
The original copyright on this book (1989) belongs to Susaeta in Madrid, who also printed the book. This is a large (slightly under 8½ x 11) hardbound book with delightful colored illustrations for each of its eighty ...
Some of Aesop's Fables with Modern Instances.
(MacMillan and Co., 1883)
Compare this fine copy, though with a highly flexible blue cover, with the first edition four years earlier from MacMillan in London and with the first edition four years earlier from MacMillan in New York. The illustrations ...
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and a Print Before Each Fable
(Published by Joseph M'Dowell, 1836)
First, there is this bad news: 195-201 are missing. This book uses apparently the same after Kirkall plates that were used in my Cowperthwait edition of 1850 and my 1840 edition of unknown origin. My test case for this ...
The Little Esop
(G.W. Cottrell, 1860)
Inscribed in 1863. Good condition. This little volume uses the title, title-page design, and other elements from previous The Little Esop works that I have listed under 1844, 1846, and 1848. But the book has been ...
Zehn Fabeln des Aesop
(Folkwang-OffizinFolkwang-Werkkunstschule, 1954)
Each of the ten fables here has one, two, or three small woodcuts colored in green and black. Most are about 2 square. The best of them include TB, FC, and Fabel vom Pfau und der Göttin. Pferd, Rind, Hund und Mensch has ...
Aesop's Fables with Upwards of One Hundred and Fifty Emblematical Devices
(Thomas Cowperthwait & Co.,, 1841)
See my identical copy of 1839 from the same publisher with the same title. The only change I see here is that we have nice leather with Aesop's Fables embossed on the cover. The top of the spine is damaged. See my ...
Paramythia Tou Aisopou (Tomos B)
(AnkyraEkdotikos Oikos 'Agkura, 1978)
This is a second copy of a book already in the collection -- but with a slight change to its title-page. Instead of the simple Greek agkura under an anchor we now have in Greek Ekdotikos Oikos 'Agkura' -- Dem. A. ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Frederick Warne and Co., 1868)
At last I have found a copy--and now two--of an edition I found recommended early in my hunt for fable books. This book may be a good deal later than the date I am guessing for it. Compare with three other books, all by ...
