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 & 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: 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 the Original Sources
(John Murray, 1867)
Here is a 1912 reprinting of a book I already have listed as the 1911 third edition. Inscribed at Christmas, 1913. See my comments there. This reprinting lacks the advertisements after the index at the back. In a curious ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources.
(John Murray, 1867)
This little book, marked as the third edition, is almost identical with my 1867/74 Murray edition. This copy lists a first edition in 1874 and a second in 1898. See my comments under 1867/74. I will note the differences ...
Aesop's Fables
(Collins & Brother, 1848)
This beautiful book with gilt-embossed green cover (FS) and spine is clearly in the family represented by the 1848/48? edition from Collins and Brother. It shares with that edition the limitation to more than fifty ...
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, 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 ...
