Abstract
en_US As Bodemann points out, this edition adds a life of Aesop to earlier editions, though those seem to have included more fables and illustrations. This is a landscape-formatted smaller (6½" x 4½") book. I have seen this book before and have hoped to include it in the collection. The reason, I suppose, is that I enjoy Barlow illustrations so much! The paper here is very thin. Illustration pages are not printed on the verso. Morals are printed after several spaces in italics. Illustration pages are not paginated. One might compare this copy of Barlow with Barlow's own work with an illustration like LM facing 24, FS facing 52, or "The Hunter and the Dog" facing 75.. There is a dynamism in Barlow that even copies express, as in "The Serpent and the Porcupine" (30), "The Horse and the Lion" (38), and "WC" (46). That "The Farmer and the Snake" has become an "inside the house drama" is clear from the illustration (34). 39-42 have been lost in this copy. Among helpful illustrations are 2P (50). There is a tendency, as in "Death and the Old Man," to darken parts of the illustration and not others (60). GA (91) is one of those confusing illustrations where one has to look for the action proper to the story. "The Fly and the Ant" (105) seems to be without an illustration. I do not understand Illustration #54 facing the text of "The Dog Who Carried the Dinner of His Master," which seems unillustrated. One illustration, numbered #55, is at the end without a text. It seems to have a wolf confronting a dog. Someone wrote in this copy that Illustration #55 should be with "The Dog Who Carried the Dinner of His Master." Metzner's copy (#187.4) is dated 1806. This copy beats that by a year!
