1794ref. 033347London : Printed for the Author and for F and C Rivington 1794 A complete set of Donovan's British Birds with 244 hand coloured plates. In contemporary half morocco leather bindings with marbled paper sides with the 10 volumes bound in 5. A mixed edition - with Vol III having a 'New Edition' title page dated 1815 and Vol V with a title dated 1820. The other 8 volumes have first issue titles. The bindings have highly decorative spines with 6 gilt compartments 4 with a gilt bird in the middle one with titles and one with volume numbers. The leather has occasional scuffing and surface loss particularly on the corners. There is rubbing to the spine joints and the first 2 volumes have closed splits at the joints extending 2 compartments down from the top. The marbled paper is quite scuffed on the surface and edges. Internally the endpapers have the same marbling. All the volumes have initial blanks; some have final blanks. Unusually the plates have thick slightly waxy paper guards instead of the normal tissue paper. These do not enhance the appearance of the volumes but they have protected the plates well and the colours are vibrant. The contents are not sewn in and a couple of plates and some guards are loose. Overall the text paper tends to be toned and with occasional spotting and browning around the edges - particularly the top edge. The plate paper is slightly toned but fox spots are rare. There is some offsetting to the guard paper. Contents tightly bound. Contents: Vol I/II - I - title 1794 with ink gift inscription at the top; text paginated for a few pages only; plates 1-29 with text.

1784ref. ABC_46946The Netherlands 1784. Large folio 52 x 33.5 cm. Contemporary richly gold-tooled red morocco over boards sewn on 8 supports each board with a round gold-tooled green morocco inlaid centre piece gold-tooled board edges 2 pairs of green cloth ties gilt edges and block-printed paste-paper endpapers in red and yellow. The spine is also richly gold-tooled with 2 different rolls to frame the compartments and underline the leaf and flower stamps. The front and back boards match except for the gold lettering: on the front board "konst tekeningen" and on the back board "anno 1784". The tooling shows 4 different rolls used for multiple frames and numerous stamps of leaves flowers vases birds and other decorative elements. With 18 large beautifully hand-drawn and coloured illustrations of birds. 90 ll. Splendidly bound drawing book containing 18 unsigned detailed watercolour and gouache drawings of birds. The colourful birds appear to be drawn after the plates in Edward Donovan's The natural history of British birds first published in instalments between 1794 and 1819. If so the present drawings must have been added to the drawing book at least 10 years after it was bound.The blank drawing-book was bound according to the gold lettering on the back board in 1784 and the tools identify it as the work of the most important and arguably the best bindery in the 18th-century Netherlands dubbed the First Stadholder Bindery by Storm van Leeuwen. Since the names of the binders remain unknown the name now used alludes to the fact that it produced many bindings by order of the Stadholder Willem V and presumably his father Willem IV. Its great importance rests on the number of its surviving bindings the diversity of the work it produced the quality of the tooling the exceptionally large number of binding tools it must have owned and the length of time it must have been operating from at least 1722 to 1793 Storm van Leeuwen. The paper is laid with no watermark and appears to be quite consistent.Occasional minor foxing but otherwise internally fine and clean. The binding shows only slight signs of wear so both the album and the binding are in very good condition. A sumptuously bound album of attractive illustrations of British birds.l For the binding: Jan Storm van Leeuwen Bookbinding 18th century IIA pp. 67-101; for images of the rolls etc.: Jan Storm van Leeuwen De achttiende-eeuwse Haagse boekband pp. 388-395.
