- Abstract
- en_US There is another copy of this lovely work in the collection, but it is unnumbered. This copy is #41 of 100 and is signed by Calapai and Long. As I wrote then, it offers excellent prints from the original blocks of The Fables of Aesop (1818). The title's reference to Volume IV is apparently to Thomas Ward's five-volume memorial edition of Bewick's works, published in 1885-7. The best of this set of illustrations include FK (VIII), "The Thief and the Boy" (XII), "The Drunken Husband" (XVI), "The Eagle and the Fox" (XXIV), and "The Lion, the Wolf, and the Dog" (XXX). The couplets seem perfunctory to me. Do not miss the good print of Bewick's homage to his predecessors as frontispiece in the booklet accompanying the prints.
