BARLOW, Francis (Aesop). Philipot, Thomas & Robert Codrington
Aesop's Fables WIth His Life: in English French & Latin.
London.: Printed by William Godbid for Francis Barlow and are to be sold by Ann Seile at the Black-Boy against St. Dunstan's Church in Fleetstreet and Edward Powell at the Swan in Little Britain. 1666. Full contemporary calf boards ruled in blind later spine with red morocco label with gilt title and blind rules in seven compartments marbled edges. Folio. 356 x 242 mm. Printed title within double rules engraved title by Barlow with central title within elaborate cartouche and surrounded by an eagle leopard boar fox wolf and lion leaf with large decorative woodcut inhabited ten-line initial and Barlow's dedication to Sir Francis Pruijan or Prujean leaf with Barlow's 'To the Reader' leaf with engraved frontispiece of Aesop with animals and additional engraving with text beneath 20 leaves with 'A Brief Prospect of the Life of Aesop' 16 leaves with 'La Vie d'Esope' 9 leaves with 'Aesopi Philosophice Fabulantis Vita' and Aesop's 110 fables illustrated with 110 engravings final leaves with 'La Table' and 'The Table' decorative woodcut initials and tail-pieces throughout; sheet size: 350 x 228 mm. A very rare large paper copy of the scarce first edition of Francis Barlow's undoubted masterpiece of English book illustration.By the time of the Restoration Francis Barlow had achieved a measure of success with his suites of prints of animals - engraved by the best such as Hollar Griffier and Place - and his decoration of houses and by the mid-1660s had contributed to the Aesop of Ogilby and Hollar. It is not entirely clear why he would wish to issue another edition of the Fables Hofer suggests a competitive nature and a different projected audience but by 1665 he had engraved a superb title it bears that date and by the time of publication in 1666 the date to the letterpress title had engraved a frontispiece of Aesop surrounded by animals and 110 half-page vignettes after his own drawings to illustrate the Fables. Each of the Fable engravings is accompanied by lines of verse by Thomas Philipott; the translations of Aesop's life into French and Latin was by Robert Codrington. Whatever Barlow's motivation the result is one of the most extensive and beautiful English illustrated books of the seventeenth century and one of the scarcest the scarcity often attributed to the loss of the sheets in the Great Fire of London. Large paper copies of this first edition are identifiable see ESTC through various issue points all present here but also as per Philip Hofer the transposition of some of Barlow's engravings. In the present copy the engraving for 'Fab. XLVIII' 'The Ant and Fly' is in fact that for 'Fab. XLXIX' 'The Ant and Grasshopper'. Hofer indicates too that the engravings for 'Fab. LXX' 'The Tortoise and Hare' and 'Fab. LXXI' The Young Man and His Cat' are also transposed however in the present copy they are not the margins headlines etc. conform to the remaining large paper leaves although 'The Young Man and His Cat' features the erroneous title 'The Nurse and Her Child' 'Fab. LXIX' albeit with the correct page number. Large paper copies also feature 'FINIS' beneath the signature Ppp at the foot of the leaf with the final engraving for 'FAB. CX' 'The Tortoise & Eagle'; in addition the spacing of the text in the large paper copy also suggests that the text on this leaf was reset.A second edition was published in 1687 with additional plates to illustrate the life of Aesop and with Philipott's verse replaced with new verse by Aphra Behn. A third edition was issued in 1703 and a posthumous French edition appeared in 1714 published in Amsterdam; Philip Hofer suggests that the third edition was really made up of unused sheets from the two earlier editions but with a new title and that the edition in French - it makes use of some of Barlow's plates - is not a Barlow edition.'This seventeenth-century polyglot English-French-Latin Aesop is handsomely illustrated with engravings after designs by Francis Barlow 1626 - 1702 an English painter renowned for his pictures of country life and field sports. He was perhaps the finest English draughtsman of animal scenes in the seventeenth century. Barlow who published the book at his own expense explains in his preface that he intends the work to contribute to the education of young people. This is the first edition; the relatively few copies known are all survivors of the Great Fire of London which swept over the printer's premises in 1666.' Early Children's Books and Their Illustration.'No artist has responded with more sensitivity and less sentimentality to the gentle grace of deer . The least of creatures the frog the hare the snake and the swallow and the least favoured of them the ass the boar and the wolf -- he draws them all with an intimacy charm and inviolable integrity never surpassed in an English book . '. Edward Hodnett.'Francis Barlow was the first native English book illustrator - indeed the leading interpretative illustrator in England before 1800 . Otto Benesch of the Albertina Museum Vienna has called him 'one of the greatest illustrators of all time'.' Edward Hodnett.This large paper issue of the 1666 Aesop is very scarce: while ESTC lists 17 copies for the small paper issue see ESTC R21542 it notes only two of the large: the copy at the Huntington and that at the Morgan Library and Museum New York; Harvard also holds a copy.ESTC R477463; see 'Francis Barlow' by Edward Hodnett 1978; see #9 in the Morgan Library and Museum's 'Early Children's Books and Their Illustration' 1975; see Philip Hofer's 'Francis Barlow's Aesop' printetd in the Harvard Library Bulletin Autumn 1948.

BARLOW, Francis (Aesop). Behn, Aphra
Aesop's Fables with his Life: in English French and Latin. Newly translated. Illustrated with one hundred and twelve sculptures. To this edition are likewise added thirty one new figures representing his life by Francis Barlow.
London.: H. Hills jun. for Francis Barlow. 1687. Full contemporary midnight blue morocco by the 'Barlow's Aesop Binder' boards ruled in gilt to surround gilt tooled decorative panels with foliate decorative corner pieces banded spine with elaborate decorative tooling and title 'BARLOWs AESOP' gilt turn ins and board edges with gilt roll tool decoration marbled endpapers a.e.g. black morocco-backed velvet-lined buckram box. Folio. 372 x 242 mm. Engraved title printed title engraving with the Devonshire arms dedication leaf 'to the Right Honourable William of Devonshire' leaf 'to the Reader' engraved frontispiece and 31 engraved plates illustrating the 'Life of Aesop' and 110 half-page vignette engravings to the 'Fables'. A superlative large paper copy in a contemporary English binding by the Barlow's Aesop Binder of Barlow's undoubted masterpiece of English book illustration.This copy - printed on excellent paper - is in a beautiful contemporary binding the binding in a beautiful state of preservation by the ‘Barlow’s Aesop Binder’. Few bindings by the 'Barlow’s Aesop Binder' are known and the present copy identifiable by the lettering to the spine and the comparable decorative tooling is one of only a handful. Active in the 1680s and 1690s the bindery worked certainly for William and Mary although the identified copies of Barlow’s masterpiece from the bindery include too the Devonshire dedication copy from Chatsworth the Cracherode copy both these now at the British Library Pepys’ copy at Magdalene Cambridge the present copy and one other in a private collection in the US.This second edition of Francis Barlow's masterpiece adds 31 plates 32 including the frontispiece to illustrate the life of Aesop including the often mutilated 'obscene' plate here untouched and includes verse by Aphra Behn 1640 - 1689 commissioned especially for each of the 'Fables'. The unsigned plates are engraved by Barlow and the remainder by Thomas Dudley a student of Wenceslaus Hollar. Barlow himself drew and engraved all of the illustrations for the 'Fables' themselves.'The Ingenious Mrs. A. Behn has been so obliging as to perform the English Poetry which in short comprehends the Sense of the Fable and Moral: Whereof to say much were needless since it may sufficiently recommend it self to all Persons of Understanding.' Francis Barlow.'Francis Barlow was the first native English book illustrator - indeed the leading interpretative illustrator in England before 1800 . Otto Benesch of the Albertina Museum Vienna has called him 'one of the greatest illustrators of all time'.' Edward Hodnett.Complete copies of Barlow's work in good condition are scarce the present copy however a large paper example in its original binding by theh Barlow’s Aesop Binder printed on a different thick paper stock and entirely unsophisticated is of the utmost rarity. This is borne out if it is necessary to provide evidence by the fact that this copy featured in two sophisticated collections of illustrated books of the last 50 years: firstly that of Arthur and Charlotte Vershbow secondly that of Robert S. Pirie; the latter collector rarely if ever settled for second best and would certainly have bought another copy if he had found one. That he had to wait for the present copy is telling.Wing 703; see ‘English Restoration Bindings’ by Howard Nixon pg. 40 nos. 98 / 99; see 'Francis Barlow' by Edward Hodnett 1978. H.

Bennett, Charles; Aesop
FABLES OF AESOP
London: Chatto & Windus 1875. Very good. Second edition of this Victorian tour de force with fine and fabulous hand-colored images of humanized animals. Eric Quayle notes that Bennett 1829-1867 had a short career which was terminated by consumption but his books were "extremely popular most passing though several editions"; this book "contains some of Bennett's finest and most vigorous work" 217. The Morgan Library's EARLY CHILDREN'S BOOKS AND THEIR ILLUSTRATORS also list it as a notable edition of Aesop. Bennett's compositions suggest the fine caricature of PUNCH but applied a classic work of ancient Greece. 9.75'' x 7.25''. Original blue pictorial cloth stamped in gilt and black. Yellow coated endpapers. Illustrated by Bennett with 24 full-page wood engravings hand colored including title page. 22 pages. Emboss of famed Victorian bookselling firm W.H.

Two copies of Blanche Winder's retelling of Aesop's fables beautifully illustrated with colour plates by Harry Rountree including the very scarce original dust wrapper. The Harry Rountree illustrated edition. Bound in the original cloth with pictorial boards and the original unclipped dust wrapper to one of the volumes. Illustrated by Harry Rountree with a coloured frontispiece and twenty-three coloured plates to both volumes. Collated complete. A charming illustrated collection of fables credited to Aesop a Greek storyteller and fabulist whose tales were characterised by the anthropomorphic animal characters. A two volume set featuring a complete copy and a smaller incomplete copy with the original dust wrapper.
