With a woodcut flower and foliage tailpiece on the title-page woodcut head- and tailpieces and woodcut decorated initials.Contemporary vellum sewn on 3 vellum tapes laced through the joints.‎

‎16 200 6 pp. pp. 193-194 and last blank missing.Rare first Amsterdam edition based on François FoppensÂ’s 1682 Brussels edition of a famous choice collection of fables rendered in elegant Latin verse by the Italian scholar and Latin poet Gabriel Faerno ca. 1510-1561 best known for this collection of fables first published posthumously at Rome in 1563. Documentary evidence indicates that Pirro Ligorio drew the anonymous illustrations for the etchings of the first edition. Plantin published an Antwerp edition in 1566 apparently using the same woodblocks as his 1573 and 1585 editions. Pieter van der Borch redrew LigorioÂ’s illustrations as models for PlantinÂ’s woodcutters: Arnold Nicolai and Gerard van Kampen who signed their blocks “A” and “G” respectively. The woodcuts in the present Amsterdam edition are so close to PlantinÂ’s copying every line and even the block cuttersÂ’ initials in the same style that they are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. While often described as AesopÂ’s fables Faerno used other sources as well so mixed in with AesopÂ’s animal fables he includes stories of people and Greek gods including some from Brabrius and others.With the owner's inscription of Petrus Mounier 1788 on the first flyleaf.

‎USA: Grosset & Dunlap 1947. First edition thus. Hardcover Pictorial Boards Dustjacket . Original Good Condition/Good some chipping but now in Brodart. Fritzs Kredel. Over 2000 years ago a humble Greek slave won Freedom and renown when he entertained the nobles in the court of powerful King Croesus with his fascinating and clever tales of animals who could talk like human beings. These fables were instructive. as well as amusing for from them Croesus and his court probably learned more home truths than from all the profound writings of the royal stable of philosophers.Ever since then millions of readers young and old. have derived knowledge and enjoyment from these witty and adventurous stories. And Aesop himself ranks among the greatest narrators the world has ever known.Here in one beautiful volume are the most popular of Aesops tables which have entertained countless generations of children. Stories like The Wolf and the Lamb The Fox and the Crow The Country Mouse and the Town Mouse will be remembered and re-read when many other books are long forgotten.The ten exquisite full color illustrations and more than 70 beautiful drawings in this handsome edition have been drawn by Fritz Kredel a noted artist especially for the Illustrated Junior Library. Their gayety and wit add increased pleasure to the reading of these favorite tales. Endpapers beautifully illustrated.Fritz Kredel February 8 1900 April 12 1973 was a German later American artist and graphic designer. He was born in Michelstadt-im-Odenwald then in the Grand Duchy of Hesse of the German Empire. In his early years he studied under Rudolf Koch at Offenbach School of Art and Design and developed skills in woodcuts. Koch and Kredel collaborated on A Book of Signs 1923 and The Book of Flowers 1930. Following Koch's death in 1934 Kredel moved to Frankfurt but in 1938 he fled Germany for political reasons with help from Melbert Cary. After emigrating to the United States that year he taught at Cooper Union in New York and continued to work as an artist. He produced illustrations for over 400 books in German and English and received many awards and honors. Many of his originals are now housed at the Art Library at Yale University.2Kredel illustrated Eleanor Roosevelt's children's book Christmas Alfred A. Knopf 1940 and was commissioned to create a woodcut of the Presidential Seal for the inauguration of John F. Kennedy in 1961. He illustrated several volumes for George Macy's Limited Edition Club cf. Heritage Press and the original World's Best Fairy Tales for Reader's Digest Association 1967. The Limited Edition Club titles include The Complete Andersen: All of the Stories of Hans Christian Andersen in Six Volumes a limited edition of 1500 sets for the Limited Editions Club completed as a set 1949 LCCN 49-3049.

Third edition corrected and amended from the 1692 edition. With the second part in first edition the two seldom found together. Roger L'Estrange 1616-1704 was Tory journalist and pamphleteer notorious for his censorship of “seditious†Whig publications in his role as Surveyor of the Press. His edition of Aesop was commissioned by a group of booksellers and appeared two years after Locke first recommended Aesop as a first reading book for children. Muir writes it was “the best and largest collection of fables in English and he had children especially in mind when making his compilation… He included many other fabulists besides Aesop notably a selection from La Fontaine within 20 years of the first appearance of any of his fables in French. It is highly probable that this was their earliest appearance in English.†The DNB notes of L’Estrange’s Aesop that it was “an assemblage of fables and facetiae from a variety of sources ancient and modern the second volume being wholly unAesopian. The trenchant reflections added to the individual fables possess a strong political animus and were to draw severe criticism from the later whig fabulist Samuel Croxall; but all L'Estrange's translations have some degree of political colouring… This compilation also includes a biography of Aesop an alphabetical table of the fables and fables by Barlandus Anianus Abstemius Poggius and La Fontaine.†DNB.
