Single printed leaf from a larger set presented & published by T.F.I. in 1927. With a 4 1/8" x 3 1/2" printed indentification label, which is pasted to a slightly larger slip of black paper (this label & the leaf may have been mounted on a similar larger sheet). Page 337-338, featuring illustration & text for "The Raven and The Serpent". (See the scan, for front of the leaf). The back features a woodblock engraving of an old horse, or mule standing in a semi-blocked up field, with a thatched cottage in background, haystacks, trees, & the engraved title: "Waiting for Death". Text of the printed T.F.I. slip: "From the Fables of Aesop, with Designs on Wood by Thomas Bewick, printed by E. Walker for T. Bewick and Son, Newcastle-on-Tyne, 1823. To Bewick is due a sudden revival of the art of xylography, which had become practically extinct; for he discovered a method which revolutionized the entire theory and practice of wood-cutting, viz., employing the white line instead of the black. This process, too, made an enormous economy in time. A pious, rather dour man, in whom the delightful imagination shown in his work must frequently have struggled with the dictates of a rigid morality, Bewick was saved by his great love of Nature and an extraordinary talent for minute observation. While he was an indefatigable worker, many of the cuts attributed to him must have been done by his brother and the several pupils who formed the school. Yet even here the inspiration of the master is ever apparent. © 1927 T.F.I." Leaf shows 2 tape mounting tabs on back at top edge, stain from rubber cement (?) or mounting tab at bottom of the page, tanning to edges, upper right corner of leaf shows a small chip. In Hugo's "The Bewick Collector" (1866); p. 140-141, #408; says of the 1818 Walker Aesop: "A second edition was issued in 1823, but it is merely a reprint of the former." Cannot guarantee the details given on the T.F.I. slip are correct, but this is a genuine 19th century leaf.

Front free endpaper with book label of Archer Ryland, dated 1942 in pencil, and an old catalogue cutting tipped on. Ray, England, 52; Hugo 428; Lowndes I, 168. â Lower corners very slightly bumped, a hint of wear to extremities, contents with occasional faint offsetting and trivial marginal imperfections, one leaf with marginal tear expertly repaired, but all of these issues quite minor, and on the whole IN VERY FINE CONDITION INSIDE AND OUT, the paper clean and bright, the margins immense, and the binding lustrous. This is a beautifully bound work that features some of the earliest wood engravings executed by an artist often referred to as "the father of modern wood engraving." Thomas Bewick (1753-1828) was engaged at the tender age of 14 as an apprentice to the Newcastle wood engraver Beilby, and according to Bewick's own memoirs, he spent much of his seven-year apprenticeship designing and cutting illustrations on wood for fables by Aesop, Gay, and others. These woodblocks were acquired by the publisher Thomas Saint, and they served to illustrate four fable books published by him at Newcastle in 1775, 1776, 1779, and 1784. These Newcastle publications are very difficult to acquire today and were already scarce by 1820. While Bewick himself went on to publish in his mature years an illustrated "Fables" with new cuts, the woodblocks from his youth (which include some done by Bewick's brother John) were bought up, first by a Newcastle newspaper, then by a York printer, and finally by Sarah Hodgson, the widow of a former partner of Bewick. These youthful productions of Bewick, which have extraordinary charm, reappear here with considerable success, especially in the oversize format of our copy. They are less complicated than the illustrations of his 1818 "Fables," but they have wonderful clarity, not a few touches of humor, and an excellent sense of composition. In addition, the book contains several woodcut portraits of Thomas and John, as well as a memoir of their careers and a limited catalogue of the works illustrated by them. The paper employed in the present book seems just slightly thicker and brighter than that used in the other luxury Bewick volumes. Our handsome binding is a credit to the Tout workshop, which turned out consistently fine work and was especially notable for its elaborate gilt tooling, as seen here.
