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. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Adam & Charles Black, 1912)
This edition has a dust jacket but seems otherwise to reproduce my 1950 reprinting of the 1912 original. The colored illustrations are particularly well done here. This is what I wrote on that 1950 reprinting: It reduces ...
Aesop's Fables, with 100 Illustrations
(J.B. Lippincott, 1916)
This book represents a major find, for which I am strongly indebted to Mary. This copy got me going on a major project, and I found Opper worthy of careful analysis. See my extensive comments on the first edition (1916). ...
The Fables of Aesop. Complete, with Text Based upon Croxall, La Fontaine and L'Estrange.
(A.L. Burt Company, 1910)
Compared to an adjacent listing from the same publisher, this edition has a different spine layout, cover color (red, not green), series, and frontispiece (WC from Billinghurst, unacknowledged). As does that other Burt ...
Aesop's Fables
(Stead's Publishing House, 1911)
Strange things happen when one delves into publishing history. This is a pamphlet of at least 62 pages, followed by four pages of advertisements. I could not find a match with any of the Books for Bairns volumes of Aesop's ...
Aesop's Fables: A Version for Young Readers.
(Ginn and Company, 1915)
A curious reworking of Stickney and Ginn's Child's Version of Aesop's Fables (1891) with a new artist, whose illustrations are rather standard. The text seems basically the same; WL changes the lamb's sex to female. At ...
Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated.
(The World Syndicate Publishing Co., 1910)
This book is essentially a reprinting of the 1910? Goldsmith edition with a brown cover given me by Elizabeth Willems. The cover is imprinted with the same design of lamps and books. The book shows the same mistake as ...
Aesops Fabelbuch
(Georg W. Dietrich, 1913)
A beautiful book to go with my early editions in English and Swedish. Beautiful runs of the colored and other illustrations. Original decorated brown cloth. Serendipity's own comment points out correctly that the book ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(Hurst & Company, 1910)
This book is internally exactly the same as the book of the same title that I have listed in the same year. That is has exactly the same plates is clear, e.g., from the broken typeface at the top of 5. There are two ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(Hurst & Company, 1910)
This book is done from the same plates as three others with the same title: from Allison in 1884, Worthington in 1887, and Phoenix in 1892. This edition has the dubious distinction of displaying two young men--a golfer ...
