Abstract

en_US This pair of volumes seems almost identical with the pair that I found from Bartleby's in 1991. Closer inspection shows two differences. First, there is a number stamped on the verso of the cover in that edition's first volume, but there is no such number here. This volume has exactly the same declaration as that about the number of volumes printed. Perhaps this copy comes from a second edition or an unmentioned group printed without numbering at the time of the first edition. The second difference has to do with the coloring of individual pictures. It is regularly slightly different: often less brilliant, sometimes less subtle. Let me repeat here the remarks I made there. Here is the gem of the collection! What a marvelous pair of volumes! Each of the fourteen fables has a two-page illustration printed on only one side of the paper. The best here include: The Cock and the Fox, The Monkey and the Dolphin, WC, AD, FM, and TT. See Hobbs, 110, for commentary on the whole edition.
