- Lot Description
This lot consists of four books about Aesop’s Fables, published from the 1800’s up to 2002.
The first title is a) The Fables of Aesop, Illustrated in Colour by Edward J. Detmold and published in London by the Folio Society in 2002, it states 1998 on the title page, but it is the fifth edition, according to the copyright page, it comes in a slipcase, it is in primo condition and measures 10 x 7 1/2 inches wide, not counting the slipcase.
The next book is b) Aesop’s Fables, a new version written by Munro Leaf, with illustrations by Robert Lawson, published by the Easton Press in 1979 and it has silk moire endpapers, all the edges are gilt, and it comes with 22K gold accents. The book measures 10 1/2 x 7 1/4 inches wide and is in very good condition, with just hints of rubbing on the gilt edges.
The next title is c) the Fables of Aesop, Compiled from the Best Accepted Sources, with Sixty Illustrations, published by Henry Altemus in 1899, it measures 6 3/4 x 5 1/4 inches wide and has a decorated cover and decorated spine which have faded a bit, it has the owner’s name and “1913” inscribed inside, and overall is in good condition.
The last title is d) The Little Esop, with a faded gilt spine and faded plum covers, it is undated, but has yellow endpapers, which means it was published around the time of the Civil War, the front endpaper says “Mission School, Corner Sixth and Mound Streets” in pencil, it was published in Philadelphia by Theodore Bliss between 1855 and 1859, according to the four listings we found online, the book is 95 pages long with numerous black-and-white woodcut illustrations and small enough to be held in your hands. It measures 4 x 4/3/4 inches wide with the faded covers, light wear on the spine and at the tips, browning in the text, and weak hinges at the rear, and still a rare title.
Overall a nice lot for collectors of Aesop’s Fables.
Largest: 8 x 10 1/4 x 1 3/4 in.
