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
(The Franklin Library, 1982)
A pretty but, I would say, misguided book. The thirty or so engravings from Grandville are very well presented. The putting together of Grandville, who illustrated LaFontaine, with two translators of Aesop has its problems. ...
Aesop's Fables Complete

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 Original Sources
(Henry T. Coates, 1848)
This book is interiorly identical with an edition I have listed under 1848/1880? and purchased from Laurie. Its differences from that volume include slightly smaller pages, poorer printing, the change from Porter and ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources
(John Murray, 1867)
Here is another copy of the book first published in 1867. This copy is covered in blue cloth, but with a beautiful golden illustration with title and author embedded in the front cover. As I remark elsewhere, Tenniel's ...
