edges, light mark near the middle left side is
mostly a factory fault with a little wear on the
very tip of the edge, black speck on the digger's
trousers s a glaze blow. A very clean tile and
glaze has high brilliance. Style: Pictorial Aesop's Fables are one of the most popular
literary series for inspiring artists, perhaps
second only to the plays of William Shakespeare.
This is one of Maws series of twelve, designed
for them by C O Murray, depicting the eternal
tale of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'. The design
likely originated from the late 1870's but the
patented lock back indicates a slightly later
manufacturing date. Verso very clean, embossed Maw etc and badge,
double lock grips.
