Fontana Print

Title: Fontana Print
Description: 1906 Print of R. Fontana's 1878 engraving "Aesop Narrating His Fables." The work was originally published as part of the "Exposition Universelle de 1878." $5 from Stephen P. Ryder, Alexandria, VA, through Ebay, Sept., '99.

This black-and-white reproduction of Fontana's work comes nowhere near the lovely hand-colored version I have listed under "Engravings." Who knows, however, when it will come in handy?!
