Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated.
(The World Syndicate Publishing Co., 1910)
I have two copies of this blue-covered book, the first a gift of David Dreis in 1987and the second purchased through Ebay. The latter has a surprising dj that features a pirate, the Mad Hatter, Alice, and others--but ...
Aesop's Fables
(London: William Heinemann/NY: Doubleday, Page, and Co., 1912)
This book has a twofold claim to fame. First, it is a first edition of Rackham's Aesop's Fables. Thus the colored illustrations are thus very well done, and protected by slipsheets with the name of the illustration at ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Century Co., 1911)
A wonderful find! A nice title page illustration starts the book, and pleasant soft green borders remain throughout. There are 200 fables, indexed alphabetically at the front. The best illustrations include MM (15), AD ...
Le Liévre [sic] et la Tortuë Mis en Fable par Différens Auteurs
(en l'École Municipale Estienne, 1914)
Before writing anything else, I must point out what seems to me a major mistake in this student book. The first four presentations of Lièvre get the accent wrong! Those presentations are on the cover, on the first and ...
Aesop's Fables
(Adam & Charles Black, 1912)
Expensive but worth it. The twelve colored and the thirteen black-and-white illustrations are wonderful! The best of the former include The Blackamoor (8), MSA (40), and The Ass and the Little Dog (160). ...
Aesop's Fables
(Ward Lock & Co.,, 1910)
This is in many ways a standard Weir book, with illustrations often poorly inked. It has the usual 114 engravings, duly tabulated in the list of illustrations at the front. It has the usual preface and life before that. ...
Aesops Fabelbuch (Cover and spine: Aesop's Fabeln)
(Georg W. Dietrich, 1913)
A beautiful book to go with my early editions in English and Swedish. Good runs of the colored and other illustrations. Original decorated light red cloth. This is a very dear gift. Dr. Schibel gave it to me as we ...
Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated.
(The World Publishing Co.World Publishing Company, 1910)
This edition is identical, right down to page numbers, with the edition by the World Syndicate Publishing Company with a few changes. The cover is different, the pages thinner, the index at the beginning is dropped, and ...
Aesops Fabler
(E. Jespersens Forlag, 1910)
Here is a lovely book with Billinghurst's The Fox and the Mask on the pictorial board cover. Inside there are fifteen excellent Billinghurst illustrations for fifteen prose fables. Each fable gets four pages: two for the ...
Aesop's Fables
(David McKay Company, 1914)
Here is the presumed first American edition. I have the 1914 Tuck edition from England, which seems identical except for the cover. This is a lovely book. It has twelve beautiful colored illustrations, among which The ...
