Description

1924 Aesop's Fables A Series of 25. TyPhoo Tea. £57.50 from Murray Cards International, Cecil Court, London, August, '97.
2 5/8" x 1 7/16". Excellent color in ovals with a different slogan for the tea under each oval, e.g. "TyPhoo" Tea goes just half as far again. The back has "A Series of 25," "Aesop's Fables," and a number on top; a title, fable, and moral in the center; and "TyPhoo" Tea Cures Indigestion at the bottom. In the illustration for "The Horse and Groom" (#4), there is good work to show how poorly fed this horse is. The artist takes a good perspective (knee-high looking down) for illustrating TMCM (#15). "The Fox and the Wolf" (#8) seems to me to be especially well done. Two illustrations leap out to me as taken from Bewick: MSA (#20) and MM (#25). Excellent condition. These cards are so beautiful that I show them here in almost their size. Click on any image to see it in larger-than-life size.
