1837Best.-Nr. 033014London: Printed by Richard Tayor for the Author 1837 A good copy of the 1st edition in the original cloth binding with 2 folding maps at the rear. Robert Dunn titles himself as an 'animal-preserver' - which sadly does not mean that he was a conservationist. The book is a full account of his travels and the various species that he encountered and then shot and presumably stuffed when he was back home. The binding is complete and sound with pulling to spine ends bumped corners and some staining to the front board. There are the remains of a paper title label to the spine. Internally the original endpapers are present with 2 old signatures at the fep which has some light marking at the bottom. Contents with half title; frontispiece; title page; dedication; introduction; notice to subscribers announcing the addition of maps for those who wanted them; text 128pp; and folding maps of Orkney and Shetland. Contents are generally clean with light toning particularly to page edges and with the odd spot or mark. Pages 45-48 are badly opened with some loss to the side margin. The maps have some creasing at the side edges. Printed by Richard Tayor for the Author hardcover
1772Best.-Nr. 143651772. Jonston John and Nicolas Robert. Collection d'oiseaux les plus rares 1772 preserves Nicolas Robert's seventeenth-century ornithological imagery in an eighteenth-century publication devoted to birds from the royal menagerie and Jonston's natural history of birds. Published in Paris by L. C. Desnos the work joined Robert's images of birds associated with the French royal collections to a French treatment of Jonston's earlier natural history placing seventeenth-century court-sponsored observation within the expanding eighteenth-century literature of ornithology. Jonston John and Robert Nicolas. Collection d'oiseaux les plus rares. Paris: L. C. Desnos 1772. Etching depicting six birds of prey each perched on a branch; one bird wears bells attached to its legs a detail associated with trained birds used in falconry. Etching measures 11" by 7"; overall sheet measures 12.5" by 17.75". The plate belongs to Desnos's Collection d'oiseaux les plus rares gravés et dessinés d'après nature which incorporated images by Nicolas Robert with material derived from Jonston's natural history of birds. Robert worked for Gaston d'Orléans before his natural-history paintings passed with Gaston's collections to Louis XIV. Under royal patronage Robert continued depicting plants and animals including birds kept at the royal menagerie; his surviving vellums became an early nucleus of the natural-history illustration collections now preserved by the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris France. This 1772 printing records the continued circulation of Robert's seventeenth-century bird imagery more than a century after its creation while the bells visible on one raptor preserve a specific visual reference to contemporary falconry practice.
