Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources. Forty-Eighth Thousand.
(John Murray, 1863)
Here I think I have an early copy of Wolf's revision of Tenniel's work. Somewhere I have learned that Tenniel's original 1848 work published by Murray apparently got such a negative response that, before reissuing it (in ...
Aesop's Fables
(Grosset & Dunlap, 1848)
This book has the same text and illustrations as the earlier Grosset and Dunlap edition (1890?). Very good runs on the illustrations here. The cover and title page are different; the latter lacks not only names but ...
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
(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 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
(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 ...
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, 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 ...
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, ...
