Shelley Sclater John Henry Gurney Edward Hargitt William C. Tait Henry Seebohm Osbert Salvin O. Finsch W. L. Buller R. Bowdler Sharpe Scott B. Wilson; literally all of the great ornithologists throughout the publishing history of this journal. Sclater 1829-1913 a co-founder and editor of Ibis was a well-known and highly productive over 1400 publications ornithologist by trade. He is also remembered for his 1858 paper setting out the faunal regions classification of zoogeography later adopted by Alfred Russel Wallace. He was also secretary of the Zoological Society of London a member of more than forty professional societies at home and abroad and a council member of the Royal Society of London. Assisting him as co-editor of some of the issues was Howard Saunders or A.H. Evans until 1931 when C.B. Ticehurst took over as editor. Now subtitled the International Journal of Avian Science it is in its present form a peer-reviewed scientific journal which covers ecology conservation behavior palaeontology and taxonomy of birds. For it’s first nearly one hundred years however the journal focused on a more popularistic type of article often introducing species and images to the public for the first time. A group of friends mostly wealthy collectors of bird specimens founded the British Ornithologists' Union in 1858 with the primary intent of starting an ornithological journal. The first volume of the journal The Ibis appeared in 1859. Lists of species observed by traveling ornithologists and long catalogues of specimens obtained on expeditions filled the journal. “This random fact gathering on distribution persisted unchanged from 1859 to the 1940s.” In her article entitled “The Ibis: Transformations in a Twentieth Century British Natural History Journal” in Journal of the History of Biology October 2004 Volume 37 No. 3 pp. 515–555 Kristin Johnson points out in a much more complete and professional manner the difference between “popular” ornithology and “scientific” ornithology study of the living bird in its natural environment more on a biological aspect the transition of which occurred post-1940. Meanwhile the articles appearing in the Ibis were geared more toward the popularization of the science and the spread of knowledge of geographic distribution and the habits and patterns of the various bird species.

1953rif. 23577New York: Newspaper Guild of New York. Very Good. 1953. "20th Anniversary". Hardcover. pictorial paper label on front cover; no dust jacket as issued shelfwear and bumping to bottom edges some fraying to cloth at top of spine a few tiny stains adjacent to spine on both front and rear covers B&W photographs cartoons ads etc. Commemorative yearbook issued to coincide with the "Page One Ball" an annual shindig at which the Big Apple's newspapermen and probably a few women gathered to make merry give themselves awards and generally congratulate one another for being well New York newspapermen at a time when NYC boasted no fewer than seven daily papers. Numerous reporters and columnists contributed short pieces many of a humorous nature and quite a few having to do with the vicissitudes of the journalistic racket and/or aspects of New York life. The cover illustration is by Fred L. Packer and among the cartoonists whose work appears in the book are Milton Caniff Irving Hoffman Bernard Seaman Chic Young and Virgil Partch VIP. And of course there are the ads: product ads for cigarettes airlines restaurants liquor hotels etc. and also numerous "tribute" ads mostly from showbiz figures "Best wishes from Sid Caesar" that sort of thing. This particular copy was personalized via the gold-embossment of his name at the lower corner of the front cover for film director Fred Zinnemann and laid in is a presentation letter to him from Ted Nelson Director of the Page One Ball; unfortunately whoever did the cover-embossing omitted the final "n" from Zinnemann's name. The high spirits documented in this publication unfortunately didn't quite survive all the way to the end of 1953: on November 28 six of the city's seven daily papers went on strike the photo engravers wanted a raise and better working conditions and for eleven whole days readers had only the Herald Tribute available to them for their regular news fix. NOTE that although the cover illustration references the "20th Anniversary" this would appear to be a reference to the Newspaper Guild of New York itself; I've found no evidence that this sort of commemorative "Page One" volume had been published prior to 1951. In any event an OCLC search turns up less than a handful of library holdings of this publication. . Newspaper Guild of New York hardcover books
