1687 Eight hand-painted leaves from Francis Barlow’s “Aesop’s Fables with his Life,” second edition. $400 from girlbookseller75 on Ebay, June, ’25.
These are exquisitely painted leaves! I look forward to showing them off together with our first edition Barlow from 1666. My two favorites among them are DS and “The Eagle and the Crow.” And I love the face of the old woman looking out the window as the two girls kill the cock. Notice the error on 213. The page’s title is “The Stag Looking into the Water.” That fits with the Latin text and moral, which were presumably printed together with the page’s title. But the illustration is for a different fable, “The Master’s Eye,” about a stag hiding in a stall and eluding notice until the master enters the barn. The English text, printed with the illustration, is the correct one for “The Master’s Eye.” Several of the illustrations are printed slightly askew on the page. Beautiful work!
