The Gregynog Aesop
39. The Fables Of Esope PARKER, Agnes Miller
Gregynog Press, 1931. The Gregynog Aesop. Folio. One of 250 copies, this apparently issued out of series with the limitation number clipped from the colophon. Bound at Gregynog in Welsh natural sheepskin with black lettering on the spine and printed on Barcham Green hand made paper in Bembo type. Thirty-seven illustrations engraved on wood by Agnes Miller Parker. A very near fine copy, uncommonly clean and fresh. The binding, with its soft sheepskin so prone to wear, shows only the lightest rubbing to the spine. [42713] £7,500 An exceptionally nice example of one of the finest illustrated books produced by one of the finest presses of the Private Press movement.
