This first edition features 13 color tipped-in plates of Arthur Rackham art including the frontispiece. It also has several in-text illustrations in black and white. Many of these illustrations depict animals personifying human qualities in a satirical or humorous manner.</p><p>Rackham art is highly desirable and has been used in numerous literary works. However the illustrations in this printing are particularly notable. According to Hudson</p><p>"Arthur Rackham's primary intention was to amuse…he was often his own model; there are several self-caricatures to be detected in Aesop's Fables. He is the man who catches the flea the pompous gentleman who scolds the drowning boy the credulous slave-owner who scrubs the black boy."
