Ogilby (John) Aesopicks: or, A second collection of fables, paraphras'd in verse, adorn'd with sculpture, and illustrated with annotations, second edition, first half with blank portions ?possibly guide spaces for illustrations, but thereafter to second half with 32 engraved plates (only, ?of 69) after Hollar, Barlow and Stoop, ink ownership inscription to title, tiny worm-hole to fore-margin of most ff., otherwise generally quite clean, modern calf, [Wing A699], by the author, 1673.
⁂ Described as the 'second edition', the 8vo possibly following the folio edition. ESTC lists 69 engraved plates, but comparable copies are scarce, and this copy indicates an interesting printing story with the combination of illustration blank spaces and the numerous engraved plates, scaled down from their folio counterparts.
