1995 Aesop’s Fables Poster. Melanie Cargill. 16” x 20”. Felix Rosenstiel’s Widow and Son, Limited. Printed in Great Britain. Unknown source.
We have a framed copy of this large poster already in the collection. A central scene has many fable characters moving about, including frogs jumping on the sleeping hare. Eleven individual fables are described in one scene each around this central image. Surprises for me are “Two Frogs That Wanted Water” and “A Kingfisher.” This poster represents a good way to acclaim Aesop’s multi-faceted influence.
1965? Aesop’s Fables. Columbia CC 24501. Adapted by Louis Untermeyer. Music Composed by Marshall Izen. Voices by Marshall Izen. NY: Columbia Book and Record Library/CBS. Two copies. Unknown sources.
This record apparently came with “A Deluxe Read-Along Giant Golden Book.” The Untermeyer versions of the fables, along with the Provenson illustrations, remain among my favorites. This 33.3 record presents an introduction and some 25 fables.
