Abstract
-
en_US
A lovely little volume, with cameo-shaped illustrations of the fables. Are they Bewick's? Maybe it is only my taste, but I prefer the 1783 Buckland Strahan illustrations. This is my fifth edition of Gay's fables, and all five are strong visually. Do not be fooled by the frontispiece mask: it appears in the 1727 (original) and 1783 editions as well. A fine, well-aged book.
