Abstract

en_US This seems to be a later printing of the book which Bodemann lists under #215.1, down to the page count (302) and the number of plates (15). The Life of Aesop lasts some 67 pages. The book measures about 3½ x 5½. Except for the frontispiece, each page of illustrations has three horizontal panels, each presenting two fables without a dividing border between the two scenes. Besides the frontispiece of Aesop with the animals, illustrations occur at 69, 79, 92, 100, 111, 119, 132, 149, 167, 188, 234, 244, 257, and 275. The illustrations are well preserved. The animal figures are sometimes poorly formed. I think the artist has better luck with the human form. Among the more successful illustrations, I believe, are the woodsman asking for an axe-handle from the trees (100), the fisherman and the little fish (167), and the travelers and the plane-tree (188). Monkeys tend to exhibit human form, as in the image of the mother-monkey and her child (188).
