Abstract

en_US I already have two copies of Vredenburg and Noble's work published by Raphael Tuck and Sons. But this book in poor condition brings new information and has a different cover. The information upsets what I had taken as firm truth. Ash and Higton give 1914 as the date for the BC image that they use on 19 in Aesop's Fables (1990). That image appears here on 108. Apparently, I was working from that information when I dated my two Tuck copies of this book 1914. But this copy is inscribed Christmas 1912! I noticed a copy now on sale through ABE, for which the seller gives a date of about 1915. The book itself seems to contain no date of publication. Perhaps I am making a contribution to the field with this find! Unfortunately, this copy is heavily marked and stained. The covers are loose and the spine detached. Instead of the pictorial cover on the two good copies that I have listed under 1914, this book has brown cloth covers, and the front cover is embossed with gold lettering and a large design of LM. There are no advertisements following the T of C at the end.
