This fragile book contains seven chromolithographic plates and a woodcut tail piece. 30 pages, unpaginated. Inscribed in 1896. The text block is coming loose but still holds. The first fable is MSA, told this time as ...

Again, I thought I was picking up a good second copy of a book where my first copy may have been in only fair condition. And this book is very close to one that I have listed under the same title and publisher in 1885. ...

Giambattista Bodoni, creator of the typeface named after him, died in 1813. According to Wikipedia, the various printing houses he managed produced roughly 1,200 fine editions. This is a magnificent volume containing the ...

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, ...

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 ...

This copy of the Peoples Edition has a different colored cover (brown cloth instead of blue) and has better runs of the illustrations, and so I will include it in the collection. Like it, this book stops dead at 257 with ...

Inscribed in 1857. Perhaps first published in 1846, the date included on the back of the title-page. Compare this book with my 1849/65 edition-and read my comments there. That book adds Döring as an author and is adapted ...
