Among the books in this view of the Bristol Library is a volume connected to Aesop, the Greek storyteller traditionally dated to the sixth century BCE. His fables, short tales with a moral at the end, were reprinted for centuries and became a staple of schoolroom and children's reading. Library interiors from this period often show books arranged spine-out on open shelves, which offers a sense of how a lending collection was kept and used.
