Antiques (magazine)

Abstract

This issue has an article Aesop's fables on English ceramics, by Leslie B. Grigsby (868-77). Grigsby works especially with illustrations from Barlow, Kirkall (illustrating Croxall), and Hollar to show the sources of illustrations appearing on plates, tiles, and pitchers. The footnotes include such as Hoogstraten, Faerni, and Gay. The article was recommended to me by Thomas Beckman. Two pages before 816, the magazine advertises its next issue with Oudry's TMCM (or someone's copy of Oudry on that fable.) Six pages after 818, an advertisement for Jonathan Horne Gallery shows Aesopic tiles ( The Frog and the Lion and The Old Hound ) that are later mentioned in this article.
