Tote Bags

2000? Tote bag from the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel.  DEM 5 from the library, July, '01.

The reproduction on this tote bag features the same image used on the cover of the library's publication Fabula Docet<//u>, namely the illustration for "The Wolves, Shepherds, and Dogs" in Ulrich Boner's Der Edelstein (1461).  Click on the image to see an enlargement.  

 

2000?  Reluctant” tote bag.  Including the fable “Reluctant.”  Fable & Table on Etsy.  Printed and sewn by hand.  About 17” wide.  Bag about 15” high.  From Kepler’s Books, Menlo Park, CA.

Here is another unusual item, one I include reluctantly.  The fable printed on the front of the bag may not be a fable at all.  “Fable & Tale” seems no longer to exist on Etsy or anywhere else.  It may also be unusual to find Etsy goods in a retail store.  The fable invokes “Perseus and Andromeda” without acknowledging it.  Cleverer people than I will figure out the conclusion of the “fable.”  See the text below.
