1882  “Abhandlungen über die Fabel,” segment of “Lessing’s Werke,” Fünfter Band, Pages 1-40.  Verlag von Sigmund Bensinger.  Unknown source. 

These pages reproduce the oft-printed work Lessing did on fable.  I include it in the collection chiefly because of its illustration of Aesop looking down on someone.  Other illustrations include a portrait of La Fontaine and more generic illustrations of fishing and hunting.
