Abstract

en_US I first saw this book while examining the great private collection in Cleveland. When I saw that Amazon offered over a $20 saving on the book, I went for it! Fable tiles have their own prose section on 12. Fable subjects became popular on English ceramics in the third quarter of the eighteenth century. Barlow was a chief inspiration for the artistry, and Kirkall was an imitator of Barlow. This section mentions a pack of fable cards of 1759, copied after Barlow, and muses over whether they might have prompted Guy Green to issue a series of fable tiles. Apparently Wedgwood plates were also printed from the same copper plates as the tiles. In the catalogue portion of the book, fable materials appear on 35 (Dodsley's version of The Blind Carries the Lame), 38 (The Sticks and another version of the former), and especially on 47-51, an impressive set of forty-five tiles patterned after Kirkall. A cut of Kirkall's is shown on 51 for comparison.
