The Fables of Aesop (small format)
(Illustrated Editions Co., 1857)
I cannot believe that I have found yet another different format of a Bennett edition! This one is almost identical with the 1857/1931 edition by World Publishing in Cleveland. It thus has a small format and thin pages. ...
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
(Strahan, 1868)
What a nice surprise! Dan saw my name go by and remembered me from years ago here in Omaha. This little book with a green-and-gold embossed cover has very good illustrations, particularly for the book's age. The plates ...
Aesop's Fables
(Porter & Coates, 1848)
The best runs I have seen yet of the Tenniel illustrations. It is unfortunate that there are only fifty of them here. The book is in great condition and even has a place-marking ribbon! The illustrations are listed on ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Schocken Books, 1894)
This may be the best single simple edition of Aesop I know. Heighway is a wonderful illustrator. This edition presents the engravings quite crisply.
The Baby's Own Aesop
(London and NY: George Routledge and Sons. 1981 reproduction by Holp Shuppan, Tokyo, 1887)
Wonderful pictures in a variety of color schemes and combinations. The Man That Pleased None is my favorite. The rhymed morals presume knowledge of the story.
Selections from Aesop's Fables
(D. Lothrop and Company, 1884)
Identical with the other printing of the same year, though in better condition, except for cheaper paper, a different cover, and omissions on the title page of the publisher's address and acknowledgement of the printer. ...
Chwedlau neu Ddammegion Aesop
(Argraffwyd a Chyhoeddwyd gan R. Hughes & Son,, 1870)
What a wonderful little treasure. The first book has a frontispiece of Aesop holding a scroll sitting in the countryside surrounded by animals. 140 fables, most with rectangular little illustrations reminiscent of Croxall. ...
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 ...
