Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and One Hundred and Ninety-Eight Illustrations
(Derby & Jackson, 1859)
Here is one of many cheap reprintings with new illustrations of the Croxall edition of 1722. Perhaps the first thing to notice about this edition is that the dedication to Lord Halifax has been dropped. The preface's ...
Select Fables from Aesop and Others with Two Hundred Illustrations
(Leary & Getz, 1855)
This little book's collection includes 153 fables from twenty-seven different sources besides a few marked either Anonymous or Original: Arwaker, Cowper , Croxall, Denis, Dodsley, Dutch, Epictetus, Esop, Fables of Flowers, ...
The Fables of Aesop (small format)
(Illustrated Editions Co., 1857)
I cannot believe that I have found yet another different format of a Bennett edition! This one is almost identical with the 1857/1931 edition by World Publishing in Cleveland. It thus has a small format and thin pages. ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Deluxe Editions: Illustrated Editions Co., 1857)
Identical with the Illustrated Edition volume of the same year except for a different cover and paper that makes the book about 1/4 as thick. Excellent runs on Bennett's black-and-white drawings. I will keep the extra ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Three Sirens Press, 1857)
This book is identical in all but cover with the boxed edition I have also listed under 1857/1933 published by Three Sirens. This copy has a brown-to-maroon cover and lists Palace Edition on the spine--but nowhere else. ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Three Sirens Press, 1857)
This book is very closely related to the boxed white-cover version by the same publisher in the same year, but it has a dark gray cover with a blue fox and blue grapes. It also has a blue background for the title on the ...
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's Fables Complete
(J.B. Lippincott & Co., 1858)
Here is one of my earliest Tenniel editions. From what I can gather, it should more properly be called a Tenniel/Wolf edition, since I think the reworked illustrations were already done in 1851. This book may be quite ...
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and One Hundred and Ninety-Eight Illustrations
(Derby & Jackson, 1857)
This copy seems identical with -- but is in better condition than -- our copy of the 1859 edition from Derby and Jackson. I will repeat some of my observations from there. This is one of many cheap reprintings with new ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Illustrated Editions Co., 1857)
Bennett's original black-and-white drawings make for a nice contrast with their better known colored version, to be found in Viking's 1978 edition and Bracken's 1986. The morals here are much shorter and less socially ...
