The Fables of Aesop
(Three Sirens Press, 1857)
This book is very closely related to the boxed white-cover version by the same publisher in the same year, but it has a dark gray cover with a blue fox and blue grapes. It also has a blue background for the title on the ...
The Fables of Aesop
(The Macmillan Co., 1894)
Identical with the 1929 printing of the 1894 edition except for the gaudy coloring of the frontispiece (a red fox and yellow grass!), the thick cheap paper, and the notation on the back of the title page that there was a ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Macmillan Company, 1894)
A reprint of the 1894 edition, with a colored frontispiece of FC. Otherwise apparently a standard reprinting.
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and One Hundred and Ninety-Eight Illustrations
(Thomas Cowperthwaite & Co., 1850)
Many of the text-plates and apparently all the engravings here are identical with those in my 1863 Burnham edition. See my comments there. The margins are cropped closer here. The title-page and perhaps a few other pages ...
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 in Words of One Syllable
(James Miller, 1879)
This book largely replicates the first edition of Godolphin's book by James Miller in 1869. See my comments there. Some things have changed. Miller's address has changed from 647 to 799 Broadway. The cover has changed ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(James Miller Publisher,, 1869)
At long last I have worked my way back to a first edition of this important book. It is inscribed in 1879. I believe I have the book as done now by six different publishers. Blue cloth with gilt, including a lovely ...
The Baby's Own Aesop
(Frederick Warne and Co., 1887)
I went crazy when I first found this! Now see my comments on the more original Routledge edition of the same year. Copy A for $60 from Laurie in November of 1992 is in better condition. Copy B for $40 from Green Apple ...
Aesop's Fables in Verse
(Andrew Elliot, 1877)
Here is a curious observation. This book is printed by Ballantyne, Hanson, and Company in Edinburgh and London. Might the author here be a member of the family of the printer? As the opening T of C shows, there is a ...
