Abstract

en_US This book seems to be the third reprint of Bewick's work to have appeared about the same time. I have copies from Bickers in 1871 and Longmans in 1878. As I mention there, the simple wood engravings are lovely. Good examples are TT (7) and DS (87). This is a reprint of Bewick's 1784 edition, as the title-page points out. It should not be confused with Bewick's 1818 classic work, The Fables of Aesop, and Others, with Designs on Wood. There is a tripartite AI at the back corresponding to the three parts of the work: Fables Extracted from Dodsley's; Fables with Reflections in Prose and Verse; and Fables in Verse. The title-page also points out that the life of Aesop and Oliver Goldsmith's essay upon fable. The spine is becoming loose. Foxing. A few annotations. The book formerly belong to L.C. Elger. Inserted is an article from The Listener of 5 December 1946 on Thomas Bewick.
