‎London:: George Shaw and E. Nodder 1809. First edition. Fine condition with original bright hand-coloring. . A Fine and rare original hand-colored copperplate engraving by Frederick Polydore Nodder and/or his son Richard Polydore Nodder from The Naturalist's Miscellany. Octavo 6 x 9.5 inches 15.24 x 24.13 cm. Includes the original text in both English and Latin by George Shaw MD FRS. The Naturalist's Miscellany distinguished by the refined hand-colored copperplate engravings and astute naturalists' observations was aptly named as a diverse naturalists' compendium of the birds mammals reptiles insects fish and crustacean identified by seventeenth and eighteenth century naturalists spanning the globe particularly around the South Seas. Many of nature's most fascinating and unusual creatures were discovered during this period several of which were introduced through The Naturalist's Miscellany. Doctor George Shaw 1751-1813 Fellow of the Royal Society cofounder of the Linnaean Society as well as Zoologist of the British Museum contributed the text. Publication of the Naturalist's Miscellany ceased with his death in 1813. Upon the death of the artist FP Nodder 1770-1800 his wife Elizabeth and their son Richard Polydore Nodder 1793-1820 contributed artistically and editorially to the publication. Indeed a family affair both Frederick Polydore Nodder and his son Richard produced every one of the plates. A gifted and distinguished naturalist Frederick P. Nodder was the preferred Botanical Painter to Her Majesty Queen Charlotte. His early skills as botanical and animal draughtsman and engraver were honed from his association with Sir Joseph Banks who employed Nodder to complete and engrave the drawings from the sketchbooks of the late Sydney Parkinson. Parkinson accompanied Banks as botanical draughtsman aboard Captain James Cook's The Endeavor in 1771. Parkinson died on the return of this South Seas Voyage. These engravings along with the natural history collections of the British Museum were the basis for the mastery of the Naturalist's Miscellany. Frederick's son Richard P. Nodder a gifted animal painter in his own right was distinguished as botanic painter to King George III. At the time of its creation The Naturalist's Miscellany was highly coveted as a definitive natural history offering and as was the custom the work was issued in installments between 1790 and 1813. Each volume was dedicated by permission and dutifully inscribed to the most devoted patrons and contributors of the natural historical pursuits of eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain: Queen Charlotte Sir Joseph Banks Thomas Pennant Esq.

‎Twelve Hundred Miles By Horse And Burro:j Stokely Lyon And New Mexico's First Breeding Bird Survey‎

‎University of Arizona Press Tucson: . Softcover. Brand new book. J. Stokley Ligon's work in bird conservation habitat protection and wildlife legislation during the mid-twentieth century is well-documented in his own writing and the writing of others. But hovering in the background of Ligon's life story has always been the rumor of a trip he made alone as a young man in 1913 in which he covered much of New Mexico alone on horseback. Details of the trip had faded into history and Ligon�a self-effacing man�had never published the story. As it turns out the trek was Ligon's first job with the US Biological Survey and it did not go entirely undocumented. The breeding-bird population report that eventually resulted from the journey photographs from glass plate negatives and�perhaps most enticingly�Ligon's own personal diary from these travels are presented here. Not just a compelling account of the expedition itself the materials and insights found in this volume also reveal aspects of Ligon's family history his early interest in wildlife and the development of the wilderness skills needed to undertake such a survey. Using his origi-nal itinerary and handwritten report the authors of this book revisited many of the places that Ligon surveyed and in a few cases were even able to locate and repeat Ligon's early photographs. Combined with a discussion of the conditions of birds and other wildlife then and now this volume serves as a useful tool for understanding how wildlife numbers distribution and habitats changed in New Mexico over the course of the twentieth century. Birding enthusiasts historians naturalists and even armchair adventurers will all find something to love in this chronicle of a young man from a West Texas ranching family with a driving ambition to be a professional naturalist and writer.
