Aesop's Fables
(Porter & Coates, 1848)
The best runs I have seen yet of the Tenniel illustrations. It is unfortunate that there are only fifty of them here. The book is in great condition and even has a place-marking ribbon! The illustrations are listed on ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources
(John Murray, 1867)
This little book represents my first copy of Wolf's revision of Tenniel's work. Tenniel's original 1848 work published by Murray apparently got such a negative response that, before reissuing it in 1851, the publisher ...
Aesop's Fables
(Geo.S. AppletonGeorge S. Appleton, 1848)
I cannot believe the proliferation of distinct Tenniel editions! This one represents a wonderful gift. A quick check has already revealed several illustrations different from, but modeled on, the original 1848 illustrations. ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version, Chiefly from Original Sources, With Fifty Illustrations
(NY: The American News Company/Springfield, OH: Farm and Fireside Company, 1881)
Here is a very lucky find. This 94-page booklet includes perhaps two hundred fables on 9-93 after the typical James Introduction to the Life and Fables of Aesop and before a page of advertisements that continue on the ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from Original Sources
(Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott and Co./London: John Murray, 1869)
This book is nearly identical with that from John Murray that I have listed under 1867/74. See my comments there. This edition places the list of illustrations where its page numbers should locate it rather than before ...
Aesop's Fables
(Collins & Brother, 1848)
Beautiful embossed covers; some staining on pages; weak binding. Browned paper hurts the illustrations. Not the original James/Tenniel edition published by John Murray in London and including over one hundred illustrations, ...
Aesop's Fables Complete
(J.B. Lippincott, 1868)
Complete indeed! Here in small format is James' version of 203 fables so often found with Tenniel's illustrations. These are not the Tenniel illustrations (though they seem to imitate Tenniel, e.g., on 147), nor ...
The Marvelous Library, No. 45: Aesop's Fables
(Franklin News Company, 1886)
Here is a curious piece of preserved ephemera. It is a 16-page oversized (8¼ x 11?) pamphlet with a thread binding. After its masthead -- including a single number price of five cents -- and a title, Aesop's Fables, there ...
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 ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Platt & Peck Co., 1860)
A small edition with a crazy colored frontispiece of a fox and a grapevine; this art doubles as the front cover decoration. All of Tenniel's 108 engravings are here; this edition counts SW for two illustrations, whereas ...
