Detmold's illustrations for The Fables of Aesop are considered to be among his masterworks. His complete set of 25
colour images are characteristically graceful and are imbued with a rich and varied colour palate that typified Detmold's
Eastern influences.
The text for this edition was derived from the third edition of Roger L'Estrange's translation from 1699.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted
approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century.
Hand-finishing is used to replicate the visual appearance of a tipped-on plate and the images are presented on
Ivory card stock with an accompanying envelope. We have left the cards blank so that you may write your own
personal message.
Should you wish to order a Reproduction Print of one or more of these images, we have provided some
options below. Of course, should you wish to discuss some customised options, we welcome your contact
on any matter through ThePeople@SpiritoftheAges.com.
In the meantime, enjoy perusing these wonderful images from Edward Julius Detmold.
