Aesop’s Fables Edited by Thomas James 1869 hotsell J B Lippincott publishers Antique illustrated by John Tenniel and Joseph Wolf Publishers Errata

Aesop's Fables: A New Version 1869 J B Lippincott publishers Antique illustrated by John Tenniel and Joseph Wolf From Original Sources. By Thomas James , MD.

Early American edition.

145 pages. Illustrated Frontispiece added before title page - on right hand page.

More Than 100 Illustrations. The stories are indexed.

Includes preface on the life and fables of Aesop.

ERRATA: p17, 23, 25 are etched illustrations - not a lithographs. Presumably there was a more expensive edition created at the time and some matter from that book was mistakenly bound in this edition.

The brown cloth bound book is charming. Gild embossed "Aesop" on cover and spine. It is is decorated with Illustrations hotsell throughout the book.

This rare antique book is in very good condition. The binding is tight. The pages intact; they are age tanned with some occasional spotting. No marks or writing.

A well-preserved copy. The typography is old school.

This would make a handsome gift for the book collector on your list.
