Abstract

en_US
Justin Schiller's catalogues have always been both stimulating and informative for me. This catalogue, though smaller, does the same. Four fable items are featured among the fifty-five objects here. The very first item is the first edition of the first Danish Reynard for $30,000. We have seldom been able to deal at Schiller's price levels! #16 is William Godwin's "Fables Ancient and Modern" from 1805. This is a lovely hand-colored printing of 1805. I have enjoyed this work by Godwin (Edward Baldwin) but our copies are later and not hand-colored. #30 is a Dutch La Fontaine's Fables with designs after those of Gustave Doré. This item would someday be of interest to me because it colors the black-and-white illustrations of Doré. #51 is a bibliography of Thomas Bewick's works. The range of things Schiller can offer is breathtaking!
