Aesop's Fables
(J.B. Lippincott Company, 1892)
Beautiful leather covers and good illustrations. Surprisingly large margins; was the text perhaps set up for a smaller, cheaper edition? The best illustrations are of the horse and lion (75), the fox and goat (81), DLS ...
Aesop's Fables
(Cassell & Company Limited,, 1893)
As yet undiscovered editions of Griset's work continue to appear. In this case I am particularly grateful. This is a very nice book in very good condition! Its 422 pages, including an AI at the end, are very compact. ...
The Isopo Laurenziano
(The Lawrence Press Co., 1899)
A good text, well placed and edited, of a Florence manuscript which includes forty-six fables and is an Italian derivative of Marie de France. (Other Italian fable manuscripts were based principally on Walter of England, ...
Fables of Aesop
(Bay View Publishing Co.[Bay View Pub. Co.], 1894)
This book compares in rough fashion with the four mentioned together under 1894/1901?, but it has a number of distinctive features. The other four begin fables on 26 and end on 202 with And this is the end of Aesop's ...
The Fables of Aesop with a Life of the Author.
(John W. Lovell Company, 1895)
Herrick's illustrations for Aesop were much reproduced, it seems to me. This is one of three different versions of the Oxford Edition that presents his designs, one each for one-hundred-and-ten fables. All these editions ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Schocken Books, 1894)
In 1966 Schocken published both hardbound and paperback editions of the Aesop by Jacobs and Heighway. It keeps as its cover illustration the picture from the hardbound dust-jacket: the dog loses his piece of meat into the ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Schocken Books, 1894)
In 1966 Schocken published both hardbound and paperback editions of the Aesop by Jacobs and Heighway. This is the 1979 printing of the paperback. The cover illustration has changed since the 1976 printing of the paperback. ...
The Fables of Aesop with a Life of the Author
(John W. Lovell Co., 1895)
Here is the copy with a blue cover otherwise identical with a version with a tan-colored cover. Did the publisher himself change the color or form of the cover as he ran out of this or that material? I take it that we ...
The Fables of Aesop with a Life of the Author
(John W. Lovell Co., 1895)
Here is the copy with a plain blue cover identical on the inside with copies with tan and blue covers featuring Oxford Edition in a medallion on both the cover and the spine. This plainer copy has nothing on the dark blue ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Schocken Books, 1894)
This may be the best single simple edition of Aesop I know. Heighway is a wonderful illustrator. This edition presents the engravings quite crisply.
