Abstract

en_US
Thirty-four years ago I was given the 1857 reprinting of Volume 2 of Northcote's poetry by David Dreis. Now here is an apparent second printing of that work. The front cover, separated, features a design between the words Northcote's and Fables. The designs seem to include a pillar toped by a crowned lion's head, a medallion presenting FS and a figure either writing or painting. Northcote wrote and illustrated a first volume of fables in 1828, published by Lawford, and a second in 1833, published by Murray. Both contain 280 illustrations. I have an 1829 second printing of the first and an 1833 first-edition of the second. I also have a reprinting in 1850 of the former volume by Darling. The 1857 Dreis volume (Routledge) was, then, a reprinting of the 1833 volume, only now with 275 illustrations. This present volume seems to be, with its 275 illustrations, a reprinting of the latter. Bodemann calls the illustrations in the 1857 edition Nachdrücke, presumably of the 1833 edition. Bodemann counts 101 illustrations, 101 initials, and 71 end-vignettes. The title-page's portrait of Northcote and the end-vignette for the beginning AI bring the total up to 275 illustrations.
