Beschreibung

Number 289 of 400 copies printed in red and black on F.J. Head's "Medieval" hand-made paper, and "bearing the original signature of the artist and the counterfeit signature of Aesop". 7 full-page and one smaller drawings by Franciszka Themerson. Semi-stiff hand-made paper covers, titled and with a drawing of a fox in red, and with an embossed portrait of an eagle. Edges uncut. A near fine copy. One of the earliest and one of the finest books from this extraordinary private press. ("These two fables are a warning to us not to deal with hardly or injuriously by somebody who can defend himself by dealing hardly or injuriously by us. There are many less subtle and imperious creatures which we can eat in peace, and to the glory of God.").
