Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(Worthington Company, 1887)
Almost identical with the 1884 Allison edition. This book has a different cover and no gilt edges. See my extensive comments there. The next in this tradition then is the thinner Phoenix edition of 1892. I think this ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(The Phoenix Publishing Company, 1892)
This edition reproduces the 1884 Allison edition, which already had a colorful history. See my extensive notes on it. The paper here is cheaper and the illustrations therefore poorer. The publisher and date of publication ...
De Nieuwe Aesopus. Groot Fabelboek voor Jong en Oud.
(J.B. Wolters, 1880)
Beautiful and copious Griset work, though some turns out dark even in so careful an edition. There seem to be three different kinds of Griset engravings. The fables come from various authors. Curiosities include eyeglasses, ...
Aesop's Fables
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1910)
Here is yet another variation in a book I have already in three other forms, listed under 1900?. This copy has a simple brown cloth cover and spine without illustration. Both cover and spine read simply Aesop's Fables. ...
Aesop's Fables (down to up spine)
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1900)
This book is the same as that listed under the same title and year except that it prints McLoughlin Bros., New York on its cover, presents a leaf-pattern on its end papers, and has the title on the spine read from the ...
Aesop's Fables
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1900)
The colored frontispiece is, as the appraiser noted, what makes this book: it is lovely. This version of the book does not print McLoughlin Bros., New York on the cover, and the title on the spine reads from top to ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables. Complete, with text based upon Croxall, La Fontaine and L'Estrange. With Copious Additions from other Modern Authors
(John B. Alden, 1883)
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. ...
Aesopiska Fabler fritt berättade efter Binder, LaFontaine, Rundell M. Fl.
(Familj-Journalens Boktryckeri-Aktiebolag, 1875)
This book is thinner, older, and less garish than my Esops Fabler of 1895, also from Stockholm. There are separate AI's of fables and of illustrations at the back here. The high quality of the paper makes this 152-page ...
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 ...
