Fables, of Aesop and other eminent mythologists : with morals and reflections
A 1669 London collection of Aesop's fables and other mythologists' tales, compiled and moralised by Sir Roger L'Estrange for a general English readership. The single frontispiece-style engraving shows a boy holding a jug amid a crowd of animals, with birds in the trees and a distant landscape, and a designer could take its dense, crowded arrangement of creatures as a model for a busy, storytelling border or scene.
