Aesop's Fables
(Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd.,, 1914)
I already have one copy of this lovely book, purchased from Yesterday's Memories in April, 1987. This copy, bought in 2000, has a 1914 inscription at its front and advertisements at the end of the book. Several of its ...
Aesop's Fables
(Raphael Tuck & Sons LTD.,, 1912)
I already have two copies of Vredenburg and Noble's work published by Raphael Tuck and Sons. But this book in poor condition brings new information and has a different cover. The information upsets what I had taken as ...
Fables: Aesop and Others
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
This 1936 printing makes for a good contrast with the 1942 printing, which I also have. It includes, for example, sixteen pages of advertisements for Everyman editions. It does not yet include, facing the title-page, the ...
Aesop's Fables Complete, With Text Based Upon Croxall, La Fontaine, and L'Estrange.
(W.B. Conkey, 1910)
Three unusual visual features mark this work. The first is the dramatic and colorful LM on the front cover's pictorial board. The second is the orange and blue frontispiece of The Lion, The Ass, and the Fox from Billinghurst. ...
Äsops Fabeln für die Jugend: 108 Fabeln
(Loewes Verlag Ferdinand Carl, 1910)
Neu bearbeitet und mit moralischen Anmerkungen versehen. Again, there is the surprising magic number of 108 fables. This book has seen heavy wear. There are some tears and some pencilling. Pages 7-8 and 23-26 are ...
Aesop's Fables, with 100 Illustrations
(J.B. Lippincott, 1916)
At last I am delighted to get back to a first edition of this important work. Mary Keane's gift of a second edition (1916/17) got me going; see my comments there. In fact, I had just finished an extensive review of that ...
Aesop's Fables. An Anthology of the Fabulists of All Countries. Dutton spine
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
The format of this book's cover is different from the three copies I have of the first printing. Like them, it has no printing date on the back of the title-page. All later printings seem to have such. It shares with ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Edition with Proverbs and Applications
(Frederick A. Stokes Company, Publishers, 1910)
See my remarks on what I take to be the original book, published by Bliss, Sands, and Company in 1897. This edition is notable by contrast for its cheaper paper and, therefore, for the poorer precision of the illustrations. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Raphael Tuck and Sons, 1918)
This book is apparently a direct descendant of Tuck's 1914 Aesop's Fables by the same editor and illustrator. See my comments there. It has a slightly smaller format, 155 instead of 163 fables, and 106 pages instead of ...
Aesop's Fables
(Adam & Charles Black, 1912)
For this reprint, see my notes on the 1912 original. It reduces the numbered of colored illustrations from thirteen to eight and fortunately includes two of the three I had chosen as the best: The Blackamoor (8) and The ...
