1927? Aesop's Fablegram Series. Twelve monthly calendars for 1930 featuring maxims from Aesop's fables and Milo Winter illustrations. 4¾" x 10". St. Paul, MN, and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario: Brown & Bigelow. $100 from bisboutique on Ebay, May, '24.
These are colorful presentations of animal scenes with aphorisms attributed to Aesop. The illustrations are true Milo Winter, regularly charming. Sometimes a fable's original scene and characters appear, as in WL (March) TH (November). Others create scenes to illustrate standard Aesopic morals, as when September features a straw held before a cart-pulling donkey with "Gentle persuasion is better than blows," more normally associated with WS. Here twelve different advertisers are featured as examples of Brown and Bigelow's work. Each calendar has a hole at its center top. Though the introductory slip came with the 1930 group, I also place it here, since it seems to refer more directly to this group.
