These tales typically feature animals as characters who embody human traits and behaviours, teaching practical life lessons through their interactions.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good +. Second Barlow Edition. Folio (30.8 by 19.4 cm). [10], 40, 40, 17, 2-221, [3: table] pp; engraved title, letterpress title, engraved arms of the dedicatee, William Cavendish, Earl of Devonshire; engraved portrait of Aesop; 30 (of 31) numbered full page copperplate engraved plates in the Life; 110 half page engraved plates accompany the fables. 18th-century paneled calf (expertly rebacked, retaining original backstrip), borders and spine tooled in gilt.

A good or better copy, handsomely bound. Second Barlow edition of these superbly illustrated Fables of Aesop, first published in 1666. Each of the 110 fables include a half-page engraving, text (fable and moral) in both French and Latin, along with new captions in English by Aphra Behn. The English Life of Aesop is likely a reissue of the original sheets from the small-paper copies of the 1666 edition; the French Life is a new version. They are interspersed with thirty full-page plates, mostly signed by Thomas Dudley (the unsigned plates were engraved by Barlow). According to his contemporary, the engraver and antiquary George Vertue, Francis Barlow (d. 1704) came from Lincolnshire and apprenticed in London to the portrait painter William Shepherd. Early and late in his career, Barlow designed sets of natural history plates, which were etched by Wenceslaus Hollar, Richard Gaywood, Jan Griffier, and Francis Place. These prints proved to be an important source for artists and craftsmen of succeeding generations. Along with his engravings for Edward Benlowes's Theophilia (1652), the present suite of illustrations for Aesop's Fables are considered to be Barlow's finest. The preliminary drawings reside in the British Museum. While Barlow's house at "the Golden Eagle in New-Street, near Shoo-lane" was burnt in the great fire, the copper plates for the volume survived. (ODNB). Provenance and annotations: "The Gift of Rich. Wesley Esq to his Son Garret Wesley Year of Christ 1741" entered in black ink at the front endleaf; Garret's entry appears beside the imprint at the title and his "cypher" substitution chart for Greek and English letters appears beneath the gift dediction. A later owner ("E.R.") has noted in pencil at the pastedown that this book belonged to R. and G. Wesley, "ancestors of the Wellesley Family (see the autographs for the letter afterwards to the Marquis Wellesley Revnd Dr Wellesley, at whose sale I bought it." At the front pastedown is the bookplate of George Aiken Batchelder (1860-1936), who was Vice President E. H. Rollins & Sons, Bonds, San Francisco, California. The bookplate partially obscures another note in pencil which appears to mention the absence of the 'indecent' plate. References: ESTC R22991; S.

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 in a remarkable 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 decorative tooling on comparison to another copy, 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 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.
