Aesop's Fables, Chiefly from Original
(The Ariel Booklets. NY: The Knickerbocker Press: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1848)
This edition shares identical text and engravings with many others, but in a lovely little leather-bound book with gold leaf and better reproductions. The illustrations are the same but the text, while identical, is set ...
Aesop's Fables
(Porter & Coates, 1848)
This book has a different cover from the Porter and Coates Alta edition, but interiorly they are the same. This book is in excellent condition, and the printing here of the Tenniel illustrations is excellent. The book ...
Aesop's Fables
(Grosset & Dunlap, 1848)
The engravings are very hard to make out, especially in the green-covered copy. That is a shame; an illustration like that of DLS on 195 would be fun. The blue-covered copy (signed by a John Dempesy) is better but still ...
Aesop's Fables
(John Murray, 1848)
Though I had never found an 1848/1852 edition before, I found this and the almost identical 1848/52 hardbound edition within one week. Excellent copies of the illustrations. Reading for the Rail books are advertised on ...
Aesop's Fables
(John Murray, 1848)
A beautiful hardbound edition with a gold-embossed cover. Notice that in this edition, unlike all others I have, James is not listed on the title page as Rev. Excellent presentation of the engravings, which may be less ...
Aesop's Fables
(Grosset & Dunlap, 1848)
I am adding this copy to the collection because it improves on some of the features in a copy I already have. This copy does change one feature in the book I have already catalogued: it adds Made in the United States of ...
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 ...
Child's Own Fable Book
(Leavitt & Allen, 1870)
This fat little book will delight those tracking fable publication. A frontispiece from Weir introduces a book with Thomas James' 1848 introduction placed (Theddington Vicarage) but not signed. James' 203 fables in I ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version, Chiefly from Original Sources
(Henry T. Coates, 1848)
This book is interiorly identical with an edition I have listed under 1848/1880? and purchased from Laurie. Its differences from that volume include slightly smaller pages, poorer printing, the change from Porter and ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources
(John Murray, 1867)
Here is another copy of the book first published in 1867. This copy is covered in blue cloth, but with a beautiful golden illustration with title and author embedded in the front cover. As I remark elsewhere, Tenniel's ...
