1992 Embroidered cloth bookmark by Sheila Janofsky, featuring grapes on an arbor and the saying: "If the fox had a good book to read..."
Sheila's work is an excellent example of the wonderful things I have received from students during and after fable courses. Might Sheila someday visit this site and find her work?

1983 Eleven separated book pages offering art by David Frankland. Most probably taken from Aesop's Fables as published by Hamlyn in England in 1983 and by Silver Burdett in the USA in 1986.
The indication that these are separated book pages comes in the texts of other fables on the verso of each illustration. I hope these were taken from a book in terrible condition that had no other use left. See my comments on Frankland's art under the books themselves.
2015? Eleven reverse stickers illustrating TH within a red circle. 4.25” square. With adhesive on the image side, covered by a thick transparency. Unknown source.
I wonder where and how we got these! Eight have www.cartilage.biz at the bottom, and 3 have www.hareandtortoise.co.uk. The latter seem to belong to a London restaurant. I removed the transparent cover of one to scan it. Stickers generally have the adhesive on the verso. And so I wonder how these were meant to be used. Red hare, green tortoise.
1970? Eleven Greek canvas scroll hangings depicting Greek fables. E.E. Apomimesis. Thessalonike: P. Zacharopoulos. $200 from kabilis through Ebay, July, ’21.
Like the gift set given earlier by Martin and Ulrike Koelle, these cloth scrolls feature each four scenes from a given fable, with a title and number at the top of the scroll. Where the Koelle scrolls feature lower case titles in blue, this set features block print in red. FG spends two panels, for example, on the birds who mock the frustrated and sweating fox. More images coming soon!
