Literary Wall Tile Set: Aesop's Fable: The Lion and the Statue, 2018
Scope and Contents
The Carlson Fable Collection is a gathering of primary fable materials at Reinert Alumni Memorial Library at Creighton University. It grew out of the personal collection of fable materials gathered by Rev. Gregory Carlson, S.J. and was given to the Creighton Libraries in 1996. There are more than 10,000 books and approximately 8,000 artifacts in the collection.
From plates to stamps, from cards to whiskey decanters, from toys to posters, you'll find just about anything you can imagine here. Please explore all that is to offer here in my fables Catalogue of Objects.
This is the largest online catalog of fable related objects on the internet. Many are from Aesop's Fables but you will find La Fontaine, Velazquez and Krylov also represented in this collection.

Abstract
Very nice workmanship. Isolating the text and moral in one quadrant is successful here, as is Linton's moral: The story depends on the teller." As the artist's illustration shows, the tiles appear best when given the appropriate small space between their edges. Fables show up in so many places!
