Ogilby's famed translation into verse of Æsop, notable for the many fine copperplates as well as the text. Though this set appears to be complete, some copies contain an additional portrait of King Charles, though this portrait is often not present. Nonetheless, a rare and desirable work, seldom found complete, or in good state. Sold as is. Wing A697 & A698.
