Twenty Four Fables of Aesop and other Eminent Mythologists.
(Ernest Benn, 1928)
Identical after the title page with the Dutton edition printed in England (1928?). Most of the illustrations are taken from Gheeraerts' edition from Bruges of 1567 (the three others are from Gheeraerts' work published in ...
Aesop's Fables (brown)
(Heritage Press, 1941)
The interior of this book seems identical with that of the boxed yellow version from the same publisher in the same year, except that the T of C gives 126 for 124 and is off by two pages for the rest of its listings. This ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Distributed by Random HouseGramercy Books, 1909)
By contrast with my other versions of Detmold's work, this edition has some 174 pages, since the twenty-three illustrations are numbered pages. A quick check suggests that the print plates are still the same, however. I ...
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 ...
12 Fables of Aesop
(Museum of Modern Artdist. by Doubleday & Company, 1954)
There is already in the collection a signed third printing of this book. Here is a second printing. As I wrote there, the style is distinctive, but alas I do not find one good illustration (or story for that matter) that ...
Aesop's Fables
(Franklin Watts, 1968)
Here is a dust-jacketed reprinting of a book already in the collection under 1968. Vastly superior in its illustrations to the Avenel facsimile (1975?). This is not a facsimile, for it omits the illustration of the ...
The Fables of Aesop (Cover and spine: Aesop's Fables)
(Albert Whitman, 1925)
Here is a third printing of this unusual book. Its cover is tan cloth. As I mentioned about the first printing, here is a singular find. I had never seen this book before, and I cannot find it mentioned in Hobbs, Quinnam, ...
Aesop's Fables
(Doubleday, 1968)
This copy is internally identical with another in the collection, a gift of Gerry McKevitt, S.J. This copy has a red dust-jacket labelled, on its inside front flap, Book Club Edition. It uses gold ink on the front cover ...
Aesop's Fables
(Hamlyn House, 1968)
An unpretentious kids' book with a surprising variety of illustration styles and an unusual selection of stories: The Greedy Fox, GA, The Bee and the Honey, TMCM, The Boastful Frog, SW, LM, Going to Anywhere ...
Fables of Aesop
(John Lane The Bodley Head ltd.,, 1926)
A curious book in very good condition. Seven nice duochrome illustrations join excellent engravings that, like the print, are deeply impressed into the paper. The language is often archaic. The fables chosen and versions ...
