KJAERBOLLING, N

Skandinaviens Fugle, Med Saerlight Hensyn Til Danmark Og de Nordlige Bilande

Copenhagen, Forfatterens Forlag, 1875-1877 and [1879]. First Edition. Hardcover. Octavo (5" x 7-1/2") text volume and small folio (9-1/2" x 15-1/2") plate volume bound in contemporary leather-backed boards. Illustrated with 106 hand-colored lithographed plates of birds, with several birds to a plate. The plate volume dates to 1879. Included is an 1852 First Edition (ANKER 256) of the text volume of Kjaerbolling's DANMARKS FUGLE, the original of this work. Rather heavy foxing to the text volume, less so to the atlas plate volume which has light foxing to most plates, heavy to a handful, and where the text block is broken in a couple of places. Overall Very Good ANKER 250 and 251.

The Magazine was published "in the hope of protecting the public .. a nurseryman not possessing a variety is no proof that it is undeserving .. although it may be an evidence of his own want of enterprise" (POMONA'S HARVEST, page 306). The work was reissued in 1841 as Lindley's POMOLOGIA BRITANNICA. Occasional spot or stain but the color is quite bold and fresh. Many plates with a small sticker or faint pencil notation in the upper blank margin not affecting the image. Bindings mostly broken with many loose pages but all text and plates are present.

WILSON, Alexander [HAND-COLORED PLATES]

American Ornithology; or the Natural History of the Birds of the United States

Philadelphia, Bradford and Inskeep, 1808-1814. First Edition. Hardcover. Nine folio (10-1/2" x 14") volumes in early 20th-century quarter red roan leather, marbled boards, ruled and lettered in gilt on the spines. Illustrated with 76 hand-colored engraved plates after Wilson by Alexander Lawson, Benjamin Tanner, G. Murray, and J. G. Warnicke. FIRST ISSUE (preface dated 1 October 1808) of this pioneering work by the "father of American ornithology." Wilson's original drawings and paintings of birds and detailed observations of their habits and habitats combined to produce "the first truly great American ornithology and also the first truly outstanding American colour plate book of any type" (Bennett 114), predating Audubon. The numerous figures represent 262 species of birds, 39 of which were new to science and 23 re-classified. Volumes I-VII were published during the author's life; Volume VIII was edited by George Ord and Volume IX completed by him from Wilson's notes and his own observations. Sabin 104597; Zimmer page 679. Pencil signature of Francis C. Stanwood on each title page dating the binding to 1907. A superb American production. Along with Audubon it is one of the color plate masterpieces of the 19th century, significantly less expensive to obtain though becoming very difficult to locate. Ill.: Alexander Wilson. Some offsetting of plates onto text, unevenly browned, some spots and stains. One plate is nicked in the outer edge, another with an early repair along the gutter, neither affecting the image. Spines lightly faded, extremities a bit worn, some inner hinges cracked. Very Good set of this attractive and historic work .
