COLOR PLATE BOOKS. LEPIDOPTERA. DENTON SHERMAN FOOTE
AS NATURE SHOWS THEM MOTHS AND BUTTERFLIES OF THE UNITED STATES EAST OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS
Boston: J. B. Millet Company 1900. No. 306 OF 500 COPIES. 256 x 181 mm. 10 x 7 1/8". Two volumes. No. 306 OF 500 COPIES. Very attractive contemporary olive green morocco covers with gilt border incorporating an elaborate cornerpiece design of a butterfly; raised bands expertly rebacked preserving original backstrips spines gilt in compartments with lacy frames enclosing a large central butterfly gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers leather hinges all edges gilt. With more than 400 photographic illustrations and 62 ACTUAL ENTOMOLOGICAL TRANSFERS FROM LIFE all but one of the latter with original tissue guards. Bennett p. 33; McGrath p. 177; Nissen ZBI 1079; Reese "Nineteenth Century American Color Plate Books" 107. Spines faintly sunned two leaves with minor thumbing one corner crease otherwise AN EXTREMELY FINE SET the very appealing bindings quite lustrous and entirely sound and the text and plates clean fresh and bright with virtually no signs of use. This is a collection of butterfly and moth illustrations printed by direct transfer from the insects the creation of a leading innovator in the display of lepidoteral specimens. Sherman Foote Denton 1854-1937 came from a family of amateur naturalists who managed to turn their favorite pastime into a global business. Denton patented a butterfly mount that captured a specimen on a white plaster tablet where it could be pressed under glass avoiding the mess smell and eventual degradation of butterflies and moths mounted on paper using pins. The present publication presents a collection of specimens in a far more portable form that still preserves the color and detail of the insects' wings. The author collected by his own count more than 50000 specimens to produce the color plates for this limited edition. He explained his process: "The colored plates or Nature Prints used in the work are direct transfers from the insects themselves; that is to say the scales of the wings of the insects are transferred to the paper while the bodies are printed from engraving and afterward colored by hand." Since each specimen could be used only once it was necessary to obtain 500 perfect specimens of each species pictured. The effort and expense prevented larger runs of such publications and Reese observes that "new methods of printing color often too difficult to be practical were sometimes undertaken by enthusiasts.

COLOR PLATE BOOKS. BINDINGS MORRELL. EGERTON D. T.
NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS OF A MAN OF FASHION
London: Thomas M'Lean 1823. FIRST EDITION with pre-publication watermarks. 270 x 370 mm. 10 1/2 x 14 1/2". Title page followed by plates. FIRST EDITION with pre-publication watermarks. FINE HONEY BROWN MOROCCO BY MORRELL stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with large frame of thick and thin gilt rules with sprays of leafy branches emanating from each corner upper cover with gilt titling within the frame raised bands spine gilt in compartments with acorn centerpiece and leafy sprays at corners gilt titling turn-ins with ornate gilt roll marbled yellow endpapers top edge gilt. In a modern brown buckram slipcase. WITH 12 FINE HAND-COLORED PLATES by Egerton on paper with 1822 watermarks all with guards. Front pastedown with bookplate of Maxine and Joel Spitz; verso of front free endpaper with book label of Thomas Kelly. Abbey "Life" 286 with 1824-25 watermarks; Tooley 204. A touch of chafing from slipcase to covers just a hint of rubbing to joints and extremities now scarcely noticeable after refurbishing three small spots to title page otherwise A VERY FINE COPY the plates very clean and fresh with brilliant colors and the binding lustrous with few signs of wear. This is a handsomely bound large-format series of amusing illustrations offering satirical advice to the would-be Man of Fashion with watermarks Whatman 1822 that indicate the plates here were among the first to be printed. The text and caricatures outline 12 essential traits for the man-about-town: Negligence Assurance Confidence Impudence Intemperance Indifference Unfeelingness Forgetfulness Selfishness Intrigue Eccentricity and Inconsistency--in short the exact opposite of the desirable traits in a gentleman. Ruthlessly mocking the obnoxious manners of a certain type of young swell the artist encourages drunkenness "become a four bottle man . . . a walking wine cellar" gambling forcing one's attentions on young ladies and attempting to seduce the wives of one's friends all while being rude vicious and without empathy. Artist Daniel Thomas Egerton 1797-1842 was primarily known for his landscapes and illustrated travel books and was an original member of the Society of British Artists. Egerton certainly knew something about cads and clearly possessed some of the "Qualifications" listed here as he ran off to Mexico with the teenaged daughter of a fellow painter. The unfortunate couple was murdered in Mexico City supposedly by a "robber" but one who neglected to take with him large amounts of money and jewelry. The London bindery of W. T. Morrell was established about 1861 as successor to the firm begun by Francis Bedford who in turn had taken over the famous bindery of Charles Lewis. Prideaux in her "Modern Bookbindings" 1906 says that Morrell at that time had a very large business that supplied "all the booksellers with bindings designed by his men" bindings that were "remarkable for their variety and merit." This work continued for some years to be issued with the 1823 date on the title but it is not well represented in institutional holdings and copies like ours with pre-publication watermarks are uncommonly seen.

ORNITHOLOGY. COLOR PLATE BOOKS. GOULD JOHN
MONOGRAPHIE DER RAMPHASTIDEN ODER TUKANARTIGEN VOEGEL. MONOGRAPH OF THE RAMPHASTIDAE OR FAMILY OF TOUCANS
Nuremberg: Published by the Translators 1841-47. First German Edition. 343 x 255 mm. 13 1/2 x 10". 41 of 42 leaves of text see below. Four fascicles. Translated by Johann Heinrich Christian Friedrich Sturm and Johann Wilhelm Sturm. First German Edition. PUBLISHER'S PRINTED PAPER WRAPPERS that of second issue lacking back wrapper but with two states of the front wrapper that of fourth issue apparently in facsimile. Housed together in a modern brown buckram clamshell box backed with cream-colored linen. 40 LITHOGRAPHIC PLATES including 36 HAND-COLORED PLATES OF TOUCANS two black & white anatomical plates of toucan bills and skeleton and an additional three black & white states of colored plates not called for by the bibliographies consulted. The three additional uncolored plates with pencilled notations and stamp of the Nuremberg Natural History Library on verso. Anker 169; Nissen IVB 379; Zimmer p. 256. Minor stains to paper wrappers occasional mild offsetting other trivial imperfections but A FINE COPY clean fresh and brightly colored. This is a very appealing copy of the German version of Gould's work on Toucans with beautifully colored plates and with the unusual opportunity to appreciate the degree to which hand coloring enhances the reader's experience. Our copy has three additional plates in black & white like the plates in the online BSB copy allowing one to contrast the difference between colored and uncolored plates and the extent to which the artful hand coloring brings the exotic birds to life. Zimmer notes that "the principal part of the general text is based on Gould's 'Monograph of the Ramphastidae' 1833-35 of which it is in places a literal translation; but considerable sic of the matter is rewritten or revised and there are additional species described here for the first time. The plates are sometimes redrawn and reduced from Gould but often altered or designed afresh while the illustrations of the new species are entirely new." Added to the Gould text is a translation of Richard Owen's article on toucan anatomy with additional comments by Rudolph Wagner accompanied by two plates of toucan skeletons and bills. The German edition is scarcer than the English version with ABPC and RBH finding five copies at auction since at least 1975 as opposed to more than 70 copies of the English edition. Because this work was issued in parts over several years collations vary. While Zimmer calls for 42 leaves he also reports that the Ayer Library copy included the prospectus not present here; perhaps that was included in his count. Published by the Translators unknown

ORNITHOLOGY. COLOR PLATE BOOKS. WILSON ALEXANDER and GEORGE ORD
AMERICAN ORNITHOLOGY; OR THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE BIRDS OF THE UNITED STATES
Philadelphia: Bradford and Inskeep; Samuel F. Bradford 1808-14; 1824. FIRST EDITION of volumes I-VI and IX with Sabin's First Issue points for volume I; volumes VII-VIII from the reissue of 1824. 353 x 270 mm. 14 x 10 5/8". Nine volumes. FIRST EDITION of volumes I-VI and IX with Sabin's First Issue points for volume I; volumes VII-VIII from the reissue of 1824. 19th century red straight-grain morocco gilt and blind-tooled borders raised bands compartments tooled and lettered in gilt gilt dentelles. WITH 76 FINE HAND-COLORED PLATES AFTER ILLUSTRATIONS BY THE AUTHOR. Title page and a few other leaves with small embossed stamp of the Pavlovsk Museum in Cyrillic; volume I with the bookplate of Herbert McLean Evans on pastedown; some evidence of removed bookplates or labels in a few volumes. Fine Bird Books pp. 155-57; Anker 533; Zimmer pp. 679-81; Bennett p. 114; Reese 3; Sabin 104596 & 104597. Edges and corners a bit rubbed spines slightly sunned some faint scratches and a few minor stains on the boards but THE ORIGINAL UNRESTORED BINDINGS REMARKABLY WELL PRESERVED AND ALTOGETHER ATTRACTIVE. Some minor offsetting from the plates a touch of soiling to title page of volume I and plates 23 and 24 in volume III about half the pages in volume VI noticeably foxed and toned as in all copies we could trace because of different paper stock used but the other volumes IN UNUSUALLY FINE BRIGHT CLEAN CONDITION INTERNALLY AND ALL OF THE PLATES even those in the sixth volume CLEAN SMOOTH AND PLEASING. This is an unusually attractive contemporary copy of a foundational work in the study of birds the first scientific work with color plates published in America and the inspiration for Audubon's epoch-making work on the subject. Although a few books on American ornithology were published in Europe prior to the present work this set was far superior both in artistry and in the quality of the scientific information it contained. It was also enormously influential to generations of ornithologists that came after Wilson. Serendipitously as DNB tells us Wilson 1766-1813 actually met Audubon on a trip in 1810 during which the author gathered sketches of new birds and advertised the volumes he had already published. Although Audubon lacked the funds to purchase a set "seeing what Wilson was achieving inspired him to publish his own illustrations after Wilson's death." We may hardly wonder at the young Audubon's amazement; according to Bennett this was "the first truly outstanding American color plate book of any type" and is "absolutely basic as a collectors' item while being somewhat unjustly overshadowed by the enormous and more beautiful Audubon giant folios actually printed in Great Britain." Volumes I-VII were all published during the author's lifetime while Volumes VIII-IX were issued after his death by his friend and editor George Ord who wrote the text for the final volume though using Wilson's original plates. Ord 1781-1866 later reissued Volumes VII-VIII in 1824 with revised nomenclature and other changes to the text. Our copy contains these two reissued volumes along with the first editions of the others. Apparently this make-up is not uncommon--Zimmer notes the same composition in the Newberry's copy. Our set has a distinguished provenance containing the stamp of the Pavlovsk Museum once a great palace constructed by Catherine the Great for her eldest son. The more recent bookplate belongs to the noted embryologist Herbert McLean Evans 1882-1971 whose vast collection of books related to science and medicine went mainly to the Harry Ransom Center. This work is almost always found with significant browning and foxing; in our set only Volume VI contains such condition issues as is virtually always the case while the remaining volumes are remarkably well preserved.

BINDINGS SILVER. KLEINKNECHT CONRAD DANIEL
DES HIMMLISCHEN SALOMONS ERQUICKLICHES LIEBES-MAHL; ODER: HEILIGE VORBEREITUNG ZUM TISCHE DES HERRN. "HOLY PREPARATION FOR THE LORD'S TABLE"
Ulm: Daniel Bartholom�i 1754. 162 x 80 mm. 6 1/2 x 3". 18 p.l. 407 9 pp. A LOVELY CONTEMPORARY GERMAN SILVER BINDING OVER BLACK SHARKSKIN covers with ornate frame in the Rococo style with engraved vignettes of the Virtues three to each side nestled among a tangle of floral vines and flourishes silver spine elements with simpler floral decoration at top and bottom above the unadorned sharkskin spine these elements perhaps slightly later two clasps at fore edge each featuring a cherub surrounded by floral sprays patterned pastedowns all edges gilt. In a slightly worn russet buckram clamshell box with the green morocco label of John Roland Abbey on upper cover matching title label on spine and yellow paper library label marked "JA 7343" on tail edge. With five engraved plates of biblical scenes. Front free endpaper with printed label of the National Exhibition of Works of Art Leeds 1868 signed in ink by C. Butler Esq. Sotheby's "Silver and Enamel Bindings" 10 May 1985 lot 27. Four tiny holes to sharkskin covers hinge open at 3 and 12 half a dozen gatherings a little proud occasional faint marginal stains otherwise an excellent copy the silver unmarred and glistening the text clean and fresh and the binding entirely solid. Intended to prepare the worshipper to receive Holy Communion this little book of devotions is presented in a very attractive silver binding from one of the most distinguished collections of books ever assembled. The flourishes and flowers on lovely frames here are engraved in such deep relief that they give a filigree effect and the Virtues Temperance Hope and Justice on the upper cover Charity Faith and Prudence on the lower have a whimsical charm. Our artisan has combined classical and Christian iconography in his representations showing for example Prudence in the garb of Athena goddess of wisdom; Hope with an anchor and a raptor-like bird; Faith with a lamb rather than the usual cross; and Temperance improbably pouring liquid from an urn into a chalice--all with the columns arcades and pedestals of classical architecture in the background. The most ambitious and successful English book collector of fine bindings in the 20th century our previous owner J. R. Abbey 1894-1969 was a scholarly bibliophile whose copies are consistently found in the best obtainable condition. He was one of the few discerning collectors to purchase silver bindings in any quantity and as detailed by J. R. Hayward in "Silver Bindings in the J. R. Abbey Collection" he put together an impressive group of specimens dating from the 16th through the 18th centuries. Daniel Bartholom�i unknown

ORNITHOLOGY. COLOR PLATE BOOKS. GOULD JOHN
MONOGRAPH OF THE PITTIDAE
London: Published by the Author 1880-1. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. 565 x 390 mm. 22 1/4 x 15 3/8". Part I with text and plates; part II with text only all published. Two parts in one volume. Part II edited by Richard Bowdler Sharpe. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. Pleasing green three-quarter crushed morocco over green cloth boards raised bands spine compartments with gilt lettering and tools. WITH 10 BEAUTIFUL HAND-COLORED LITHOGRAPHIC PLATES. With original blue upper wrapper to each part bound in. Sitwell "Fine Bird Books" p. 102; Zimmer p. 263. Lower cover with a few negligible scratches and a light stain or two original wrappers with a faint crease down the middle plates with just a touch of toning around the edges but A REALLY EXCELLENT COPY ENTIRELY FRESH AND CLEAN. This brief but very pleasing work was John Gould's final publication before his death in 1881. It was originally conceived as a four-part series but only Part I was completed in its entirety; Part II containing just text was published shortly after Gould's death by his friend and fellow ornithologist R. Bowdler Sharpe who also acted as editor. According to the nota bene on the wrapper for Part I the illustrations found here were "principally taken from the Author's works on 'Birds of Asia' 'Australia' and 'New Guinea.'" As these sources suggest the pittidae a family of small tropical birds are found almost entirely in the aforementioned regions. The males of the species are known to possess a great range of colorful plumage--from the somber Black Ground-Thrush to the jewel-like and aptly named Necklaced Pitta--an attribute played up to great effect in the excellent coloring of the plates. The hand-colored lithographs seen here and in most of Gould's work from the 1830's on were a special point of pride for the scientist. According to DNB "the design and natural arrangement of the birds on the plates was due to the genius of John Gould and a Gould plate has a distinctive beauty and quality." Although he did not create the actual lithographs himself he did create preliminary sketches upon which the plates were ultimately based. He was also intimately involved with the publication process from start to finish including acting as agent and distributor of his own work. As a scientist Gould 1804-81 is perhaps the most recognizable name in ornithology after Audubon. Published by the Author unknown

COLOR PLATE BOOKS. ZOOLOGY. SCHINZ HEINRICH RUDOLF. BRODTMANN KARL JOSEPH Lithographer
NATURGESCHICHTE UND ABBILDUNGEN DER S�UGETHIERE
Z�rich: Brodtmann 1824. FIRST EDITION. 324 x 235 mm. 12 3/4 x 9 1/4". 177 leaves of numbered plates including illustrated title page. Without the text volume. FIRST EDITION. Contemporary black quarter roan over green marbled boards vellum tips flat spine with gilt rules rolls and lettering. WITH 177 HAND-COLORED LITHOGRAPHED ILLUSTRATIONS comprised of pictorial title page and 176 plates 17 of humans the rest of mammals the majority with original tissue guards. Nissen ZBI 3672. Cover surfaces and extremities somewhat rubbed corners gently bumped plate 136 with a cracked crease across the surface occasional light spots on a few plates some missing and a few torn tissue guards otherwise a very attractive copy the engravings generally quite clean and fresh. This is a complete set of the plates from the scarce hand-colored first edition of Schinz's important natural history of mammals. The pictorial title page features a geographically impossible but nonetheless animated scene of an antelope being chased by lions and a tiger. Plates 2-18 are portraits of people of various ethnicities including Native Americans Africans Asians and Pacific Islanders. This is followed by a parade of mammals from wild and exotic beasts to adorable housecats. The equine plates are especially interesting with horses shown carrying soldiers into battle hunting with hounds and working on a farm. Trained as a physician Schinz 1777-1861 taught natural history at the University in his native Z�rich where he also served as curator for the natural history society. He was a prolific and popular author of zoological works including volumes on birds fish reptiles and amphibians. Many of these were handsomely illustrated by one of the finest lithographers of the day Joseph Brodtmann 1787-1862 whose works have always been admired for their scientific accuracy as well as their aesthetic appeal. Our copy of the present item stands out because the book is generally found incomplete and uncolored. Brodtmann unknown

COLOR PLATE BOOKS. SICILY TRAVEL VIEWS IN. GIGAULT DE LA SALLE ACHILLE ETIENNE
VOYAGE PITTORESQUE EN SICILE
Paris: P. Didot l'ain� second volume: Jules Didot l'ain� 1822-26. FIRST EDITION. 641 x 495 mm. 25 1/4 x 19 1/2". Lacking the dedication leaf and subscriber list present in the Abbey copy. Two volumes. Edited by Jean Fr�d�ric d'Ostervald. FIRST EDITION. Contemporary red straight-grain morocco textured paper boards gilt titling on spine edges untrimmed. One map as called for though the Abbey copy has two and 92 ACCOMPLISHED AND BEAUTIFULLY HAND-COLORED AQUATINT PLATES OF SICILIAN VIEWS. Abbey "Travel" 262; Graesse VI 400; Brunet V 1379. Moderate rubbing to joints and elsewhere covers with some scars other minor problems externally but the original bindings entirely solid--and surprisingly so for such an immense book with so many fabulous pictures to look at. Preliminary leaves and text lightly to substantially foxed a half dozen plates with faint overall browning one tissue guard missing the margins of perhaps half the engravings with foxing usually light though noticeable in three or four cases in the second volume but still a very pleasing copy of a beautifully illustrated book the marginal foxing seldom distracting and the engraved images themselves clear and clean afflicted by neither foxing nor the dreaded offsetting from the text. This is an extraordinarily rare copy of one of the most beautiful color plate travel books having to do with Italy. The large and luminous views of Sicily in our two volumes capture the magic of the island as experienced by the traveller of the early 19th century. Sicily's well-preserved Greek temples are of course featured but port scenes Medieval churches picturesque villages and the interior of Etna's crater are also depicted all in exquisite color. The engravings each accompanied by letter press explanations are of great interest and beauty and all but one of them are full-blooded tableaux rather than plans or assemblages of small images. The size of the engraved surface varies on the page as does the distance of the subject from the viewer: we are treated to everything from wide panoramic views to confining inner spaces. While the colors cannot be called pastel they are far from garish with lovely grays typically giving a softness to a scene that often employs subtle shades of yellow blue and green. The plates are memorable for their use of light and shadow to give a convincing feeling of three-dimensionality amidst luminous skies darkened interiors and a number of other variably lit settings. The book was originally published in 24 parts and includes an historical pr�cis by Gigault de La Salle giving an overview of events from antiquity to his own time. Abbey calls the work "the most ambitious of the coloured aquatint books edited by J. F. d'Ostervald" who produced a number of works on the picturesque including two famous oversized editions focusing on regions in France. The book has always commanded a premium price: the unbound sheets were sold at the time of publication for the whopping sum of �34. In his note to the reader Ostervald tells of his search among the portfolios of the artists of Switzerland Germany and England for the perfect materials for this collection. The plates cite the names of the artist and engraver and Abbey notes that "English artists or engravers were responsible for nearly half" of the plates. Among these was Richard Parkes Bonington 1802-28 the tragically short-lived painter whose romantic works were greatly admired by Delacroix. Abbey estimates that about 500 copies of the book were produced and comments that the book is "certainly rare in this country at all events only three copies being reported at auction in the last fifty years." The rarity of the book has not surprisingly increased since Abbey's remark: complete copies with colored plates are still hard to find. Jules Didot l'ain�] unknown
