Francis Barlow

Francis Barlow was one of the most renowned nature artists of 17th-century England, and his edition of Aesop's fables is famous not so much for the text of the fables as for its marvelous illustrations. Michigan State University has made an edition of Barlow available online, and I've reproduced the pages at my Aesopica website.

In 2009, I published an edition of 80 fables from Barlow's book, with 40 of the illustrations, with Bolchazy-Carducci Press; it's available from Amazon.com!
