Abstract

en_US This book compares most closely with my 1896 Aesop's Fables from Donohue, Henneberry, and Company. See my comments there. This book has a strange first page with four rabbits around a cartoon of grandpa kicking a football. Though Henneberry is not included in the company's name, the address is the same as in the 1896 edition. At the end of the book, there is a picture of two children on the back cover. There is no AI, as there is in the 1896 edition. This edition prints on the back of 157 and thus runs for 158, not 159, pages. The printing in this book is terribly smudged throughout. I challenge a reader to identify the subject represented on 115! A particular feature of this edition is its use of full-page generic illustrations of animals (e.g. Bees Swarming [127] and Battle in the Polar Regions [182]). Donohue's 1892? Aesop's Fables had added similar illustrations. The third book to draw into comparison is Donohue's 1893? Aesop's Fables. Both of the latter are shorter than this and the 1896 version.
