Abstract
This is one landscape-formatted booklet from a set of four. A further sub-title on the cover adds: From Aesop. Told anew in verse and figured in colors. There are six fables, recounted in verse by J. Hain Friswell. Each fable gets one full-page illustration, with the last The Basket of Eggs dividing its page into two panels. Marcus Ward & Company existed apparently from 1867 through 1899. The colors here are strong and flat; the figures lack depth. Perhaps the best of the illustrations is DS. The cover is in the process of being separated from the rest of the booklet. Is the canvas around the binding here something put on the booklet by the publisher, or was it added later by some owner? Now I need to find the other three booklets in the series!
