- Abstract
- en_US These two books seem interiorly identical. Of my four 1820 Bewick Select Fables, these come closest to matching Bodemann 240.1. By contrast with the other two copies, these begin their last page one line earlier, with nothing of your. They have no printer's mark at the bottom of that page. The image above the Advertisement is not that of a church but rather of a fisherman. At the end of the Advertisement we find not a deer at water but rather an unusual scene involving an angel-like figure and a donkey-rider, both brandishing long sticks. The Slavin copy has very bright illustrations and is in good condition except for some deterioration around the outer spine. The Booksource copy has darker pages and a separated back cover. I believe that this is the book people talk about when they speak of Bewick's 1820 Select Fables.
