“A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.”

― Aesop, Aesop’s Fables

Aesop’s fables have been printed for centuries and include some of the most famous fables and tales of all time. This exceedingly rare and valuable 1909 limited edition printed of Aesop was illustrated by Edward Julius Detmold. Detmold’s renderings of Aesop’s stories are rivaled only by Rackham, with many preferring the art of Detmold.

This particular issue is hand-numbered (no. 151 of 750) and signed by Detmold himself!
