1686 Aesop's Fables Woodcuts
- Title
- 1686 Aesop's Fables Woodcuts
- Description
- We have an unusual set of woodcuts cut out, apparently from a book, and attached to 8.5" x 11" sheets in rows. There are eleven pages of fables and two pages of the life of Aesop. I can find no English language edition of Aesop published in 1686. There is a French edition of that year. We present them here in groups of three according to the rows in which they are presented on all but one of the sheets. If we ever get to identify these with the text they came from, it will help that "Of the Boar and the Countryman" is Fable 110.
