Conkey Billinghurst Reprints

2020?   Fifteen broadsides re-presenting Percy Billinghurst's illustrations with J.B. Rundell's texts on heavy stock.  14" x 10¾".  $10 each from Shakespeare, Berkeley, July, '22.

These are attractive broadsides, nicely printed.  Strong work with various colored inks.  There are two striking anomalies.  One is that the standard J.B. Rundell texts used regularly in Conkey editions of Aesop are used here but labeled as coming from "L'Estrange."  The other anomaly was already present in the early Conkey editions: Billnghurst did these illustrations for La Fontaine's fables.
