Abstract

en_US
A strange combination of two books bound together. The Three Hundred portion is identical with my Routledge 1885?/1904 edition; both have 114 illustrations, though that one has different full-page illustrations. Townsend is not acknowledged here as editor. The Speckter section is identical with my 1858 and 1879? editions; the illustrations are not printed as well as they are in Picture Fables (1858). The author (Hey), translator (Dulcken), and engravers (Brothers Dalziel) are no longer acknowledged. Here is a conundrum: the frontispiece of a town street scene is a colored version of the black/white frontispiece of Picture Fables (1858). So: did Speckter do all the colored illustrations? If so, the title page quoted in the first portion of this entry is misleading, to say the least. The other four colored illustrations are of LM (48); the woodman and the fox (144); the calf and the dog (224); and three men, Aesop, and a cock (Speckter section, 84). There is an index for Three Hundred on 221-4. The book is in excellent condition. There is an infinite regress set up by the binding's design, which pictures a boy reading this book with its picture of a boy reading this book.…
