The Children's Picture Fable-Book containing one hundred and sixty fables.

London: George routledge and Sons, 1894. First Edition. Brown buckram with illustrated boards with gilt and black design and titles. The gilt is a little rubbed and there is some bumping to the edges. Binding is a little bumped and one of the illustrations (p118) is partially loose (to the lower half) but still holding in place. Small repair to the edge of the frontis illustration with archival tape. Some pencil under-linings to difficult words throughout suggest this was used as an educational aid. There is a fairly large hole in page 65/66 (see photographs). Still in reasonably sound condition overall though. Essentially a re-telling of Aesop's fables with the moral to the end of each tale. Attractive black and white engravings. Viii, 280 pages. 190mm x 150mm

. Première édition. Bougran brun avec des planches illustrées avec des dessins et des titres dorés et noirs. La dorure est un peu frottée et il y a quelques bosses sur les bords. La reliure est un peu bosselée et l'une des illustrations (p118) est partiellement détachée (sur la moitié inférieure) mais tient encore en place. Petite réparation sur le bord de l'illustration du frontis avec du ruban adhésif d'archivage. Quelques soulignements au crayon sur des mots difficiles tout au long de l'ouvrage suggèrent que celui-ci a été utilisé comme support pédagogique. Il y a un trou assez important à la page 65/66 (voir photographies). Dans l'ensemble, l'ouvrage est en assez bon état. Il s'agit essentiellement d'une réédition des fables d'Esope avec la morale à la fin de chaque conte. Gravures attrayantes en noir et blanc. Viii, 280 pages. 190 mm x 150 mm
