1926réf. 21150211926. Waltham Saint Lawrence Berkshire: The Golden Cockerel Press. 1926. Large 8vo. Cream-backed brown publisher's boards lettered in gilt to spine in typographic dust-jacket; with 11 wood engravings by Celia M.

Commissioned by a group of booksellers his edition appeared two years after Locke had recommended Aesop as an ideal first reading book for children. As Muir notes it was ""the best and largest collection of fables in English and he had children especially in mind when making his compilation"". L'Estrange's Aesop is in fact ""an assemblage of fables and facetiae from a variety of sources ancient and modern the second volume being wholly un-Aesopian. 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"" DNB.The simplistic yet highly effective wood engravings are by Celia M. Fiennes a direct descendant of the seventeenth-century travel writer Celia Fiennes. She was an accomplished printmaker and illustrator - in the same year as this publication she produced twelve wood engravings for the Cresset Press edition of Matthew Stevenson's 1661 work The Twelve Moneths.Provenance: From the library of the American photographer Alma Ruth Lavenson 1897-1989. Lavenson was particularly prolific in the 1920s and 30s and was influenced by Pictorialism; she worked alongside photographers such as Ansel Adams Imogen Cunningham and Edward Weston and developed friendships with these artists.Chanticleer 45.

1697réf. 55531Paris: Widow of Claude Thiboust Madeleine Thévenon / Augustin Leguerrier 1697. Very good. First edition published in France of this influential Latin collection of Aesopian-fables - almost certainly the edition used by fairy tale-popularizer Charles Perrault for his French translation of 1699. Faerno's Neo-Latin fables were first published in 1563 as FABULAE CENTUM and soon became the most successful original work in the Aesopian tradition until La Fontaine; like La Fontaine Faerno adapted classical sources like Aesop as well as writing his own fables. In fact this edition's name refers to another important fabulist and celebrated Latin translator of Aesop Phaedrus whose work was rediscovered in the Renaissance; Faerno's fables were considered so good that many thought he cribbed them from Phaedrus - a charge against which Perrault defended him in his French translation of 1699. This edition was published the same year as Perrault's book of fairy tales HISTOIRES OU CONTES DU TEMPS PASSÉ 1697. Perrault appears to have begun his translation of Faerno around the same time suggesting that Perrault saw his fairy-tale work as linked to the fabulist tradition going back to Aesop. This edition the first printed in France according to the anonymous preface was meant especially for the education of children rearranging some of the entries to start with those easier to comprehend. Ashby notes that "Aesop's fables were not originally created for children" 6 but rather were intended as lessons for adults. Yet Faerno's own Aesopian fables were seen as a pedagogical tool from the beginning especially for teaching students Latin; it was works like this one that helped transform the wisdom tradition of the Aesopian fable into what we now see as a children's genre side by side with the fairy tale tradition. 12mo 5.5'' x 3.25''.
