Aesop's Fables (down to up spine)
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1900)
This book is the same as that listed under the same title and year except that it prints McLoughlin Bros., New York on its cover, presents a leaf-pattern on its end papers, and has the title on the spine read from the ...
Aesop's Fables
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1900)
The colored frontispiece is, as the appraiser noted, what makes this book: it is lovely. This version of the book does not print McLoughlin Bros., New York on the cover, and the title on the spine reads from top to ...
Aesop's Fables
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1910)
Here is yet another variation in a book I have already in three other forms, listed under 1900?. This copy has a simple brown cloth cover and spine without illustration. Both cover and spine read simply Aesop's Fables. ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(Hurst & Company, 1910)
This book is internally exactly the same as the book of the same title that I have listed in the same year. That is has exactly the same plates is clear, e.g., from the broken typeface at the top of 5. There are two ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(Hurst & Company, 1910)
This book is done from the same plates as three others with the same title: from Allison in 1884, Worthington in 1887, and Phoenix in 1892. This edition has the dubious distinction of displaying two young men--a golfer ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(Worthington Company, 1887)
Almost identical with the 1884 Allison edition. This book has a different cover and no gilt edges. See my extensive comments there. The next in this tradition then is the thinner Phoenix edition of 1892. I think this ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(The Phoenix Publishing Company, 1892)
This edition reproduces the 1884 Allison edition, which already had a colorful history. See my extensive notes on it. The paper here is cheaper and the illustrations therefore poorer. The publisher and date of publication ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(Hurst & Company, 1910)
This book is internally exactly the same as books of the same title that I have listed in the same year. That it has exactly the same plates is clear, e.g., from the broken typeface at the top of 5. It repeats the blooper ...
Aesop's Fables
(Boston: Lee and Shepard/NY: Charles T. Dillingham, 1878)
This book matches one I found over eleven years ago, with the single exception that it has a green cloth cover rather than the blue cover there. The gold of the god holding an axe on the cover with its red title-lettering ...
Aesop's Fables
(Cassell & Company Ltd.,, 1893)
The illustrations are good, though not quite as good as in the Swedish edition I found earlier this summer. There is a list of illustrations on xi, and an AI at the back. A note at the end of the preface mentions that ...
