Description

2007 “Aesop’s Fables Illustrated by John Hejduk.” Poster. 20” x 15”. NY: Rizzoli. Unknown source.

I was first alerted to the existence of this book at a Georgetown University celebration while I was a guest lecturer there. Imagine my surprise that the art gallery bookstore had a fable not yet in our growing collection! The TH image chosen here is apt for the book in this immense poster. Is this the biggest poster in our collection?

"Aesop's Fables" illustrates characters and objects from TMCM, LM, GGE, FG, FS, and TH. Simple, playful art graces this poster. The angry fox and the scurrying mice are perhaps the best characters here. See the 1988 book Aesop's Fables: Posters & Reproducible Pages based on this poster.

"Fable Search" presents twelve morals associated with well known fables. To what fable does this poster's "Half a loaf is better than none" moral belong?
