1700? Four matted double plates, each of the eight plates including four engravings, each about 2.9” x 2.25”. Unknown source.
Each pair is glued together well. Most have come loose from their backing and from the matting. Each plate is numbered with Arabic numerals, while each pair of illustrations has a Roman numeral. The first three sets of plates are successive – 13-16 in right-to-left order; 17-20 in left-to-right order; 21-24 in right-to-left order. The fourth contains 33-36 in left-to-right order. Might these have been facing pages in a booklet? Each Arabic numbered plate has two Roman-numbered illustrations. Thus on a given plate, one should read down before reading left or right. Not all fables are easy to identify with certitude.
