ORNITHOLOGY. COLOR PLATE BOOKS. MEŸER HENRY LEONARD
ILLUSTRATIONS OF BRITISH BIRDS
London: Longman & Co 1837-44. FIRST EDITION. 372 x 270 mm. 14 5/8 x 10 5/8". Four volumes. FIRST EDITION. VERY FINE CONTEMPORARY EMERALD GREEN MOROCCO GILT covers framed in the Romantic style with multiple plain and decorative gilt rules and foliate rolls in gilt and in blind raised bands spine compartments densely gilt with fleuron centerpieces surrounded by swirling foliage gilt titling gilt-ruled turn-ins pale yellow embossed endpapers leather hinges all edges gilt. WITH 319 HAND-COLORED PLATES: 313 as called for in the contents lists plus one additional plate each of the heron and the blackbird and four of five plates depicting eggs all with original tissue guards. Mullens and Swann pp. 402-03; Wood p. 462 Spines uniformly sunned to a soft olive green a couple of boards with small spots of mild chafing extremities a little rubbed isolated mild foxing but A LOVELY COPY the plates clean fresh and bright with vivid coloring and the handsomely decorated bindings with only trivial wear. Published in 78 parts under the special patronage of King William Queen Adelaide and the Duchess of Kent this is a most desirable issue of one of the most valuable illustrated works on British ornithology. Wood describes it as "the finest and most complete atlas of portraits of British avifauna with their eggs ever published." It is is also a work with an extremely complicated bibliographical history. Ours is the standard first edition which was planned to have 313 plates of birds and five separate egg plates; the latter were discontinued after only five were published. As a result a few early copies contain 318 plates while others have only the 313 bird plates. The present copy has four of the five plates of eggs called for lacking the Woodcock and Guillemot egg plate and has two additional plates illustrating the heron and the blackbird included from the third edition which was being prepared for publication at the same time the issues of the first edition were being released. Many first editions received these bonus plates by mistake. All plates are lettered with both the common and the contemporary scientific name of the bird along with a couple of lines about its size habitat and diet. The illustrations were drawn from nature by Meÿer and his wife--some from living subjects kept by the artist--and were professionally hand colored. Mary Anne Meÿer was an accomplished artist who created many of the original drawings whilst her husband a professional lithographer drew the plates on the stones; this accounts for only his signature appearing on the completed plates. Born in Amsterdam Meÿer d. 1864 came to England in 1806 after Napoleon made his own brother Louis king of Holland. He married Mary Anne Moor in 1830 and they set up house in Surrey where Meÿer pursued his twin passions as an artist and a naturalist. This copy has superb impressions of all the plates the quality of some deteriorated in the later issues and outstanding hand coloring. In terms of convincing and beautiful illustrations the book holds its own with other famous ornithological publications no matter their language; it is not a rare book but a copy like the present one--especially well-preserved with bright beautiful plates and a handsome binding--is quite difficult to find. We are very grateful to Professor W. G. Hale for his assistance with this description and with the complex bibliographical history. Longman & Co unknown

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

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.

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
