- Abstract
- en_US This large-format (8¼ x 11) book not only reproduces Jacobs' edition, with its eighty-two numbered fables. It expands the size of each of Heighway's illustrations, and so makes an excellent source for photographing them. A number of Heighway's illustrations are colored. They appear in twos and fours. TMCM and FC follow 33; FS, OF, The Fisher, and The Tortoise and the Birds follow 48; CP and GGE follow 64. The title-page uses Heighway's clever separation of the two characters of FC. Steinhöwel's frontispiece of Aesop serves as the frontispiece here. What a great gift! The statement opposite the T of C, Printed in Israel, 1966, is apparently a typo.
