Abstract

en_US I am surprised that I have not run into this fine book earlier. It presents two books in one, the first printings of both editions of Gray's fables. Its dates are thus 1727 and 1738. The illustrations may not be as fine as in an original copy, but they are remarkably clean. There are a few pen markings that get reproduced with the rest, e.g., on the title-page of the first volume. One can also find a library stamp on 51 of the second volume. This is a very nicely constructed book!
