A good or better copy handsomely bound.<br /> <br /> Second Barlow edition of these superbly illustrated Fables of Aesop first published in 1666. Each of the 110 fables include a half-page engraving text fable and moral in both French and Latin along with new captions in English by Aphra Behn. The English Life of Aesop is likely a reissue of the original sheets from the small-paper copies of the 1666 edition; the French Life is a new version. They are interspersed with thirty full-page plates mostly signed by Thomas Dudley the unsigned plates were engraved by Barlow. <br /> <br /> According to his contemporary the engraver and antiquary George Vertue Francis Barlow d. 1704 came from Lincolnshire and apprenticed in London to the portrait painter William Shepherd. Early and late in his career Barlow designed sets of natural history plates which were etched by Wenceslaus Hollar Richard Gaywood Jan Griffier and Francis Place. These prints proved to be an important source for artists and craftsmen of succeeding generations. Along with his engravings for Edward Benlowes's Theophilia 1652 the present suite of illustrations for Aesop's Fables are considered to be Barlow's finest. The preliminary drawings reside in the British Museum. While Barlow's house at "the Golden Eagle in New-Street near Shoo-lane" was burnt in the great fire the copper plates for the volume survived. ODNB.<br /> <br /> Provenance and annotations: "The Gift of Rich. Wesley Esq to his Son Garret Wesley Year of Christ 1741" entered in black ink at the front endleaf; Garret's entry appears beside the imprint at the title and his "cypher" substitution chart for Greek and English letters appears beneath the gift dediction. A later owner "E.R." has noted in pencil at the pastedown that this book belonged to R. and G. Wesley "ancestors of the Wellesley Family see the autographs for the letter afterwards to the Marquis Wellesley Revnd Dr Wellesley at whose sale I bought it." At the front pastedown is the bookplate of George Aiken Batchelder 1860-1936 who was Vice President E. H. Rollins & Sons Bonds San Francisco California. The bookplate partially obscures another note in pencil which appears to mention the absence of the 'indecent' plate. References: ESTC R22991; S.
