From the Collection:

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.

Additional Description

Abstract

Six of the cards in this lot actually repeat cards in the above complete set. These other six follow a different numbering system, namely two sets of continuous numbers, four consecutive numbers at the top and then, after skipping eight numbers, another continuous set of numbers across the bottom of the board. These illustrations are well colored, and the boards themselves are well preserved.
