The complete report concerning the fish specimens collected during Ross' voyage to the Antarctic 1839-1842 including species from Australia New Zealand Cape Horn the Falklands and elsewhere.The expedition of HMS Erebus and Terror to the Antarctic was under the command of Captain James Clark Ross 1800-1862. Francis Crozier was second-in-command Captain of HMS Terror. It was the first of the major Antarctic expeditions with the mission of conducting 'magnetic research and geographical discovery'. The natural history collections collected en route proved of lasting importance many being collected by the assistant surgeon and botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker 1817-1911. Page 15 records an amusing story; �When the ships were in the high latitude of 77�10�S. and long. 178�� a fish was thrown up by the spray in a gale of wind against the bows of the Terror and frozen there. It was carefully removed for the purpose of preservation and a rough sketch was made of it by the surgeon John Robertson Esq. but before it could be put into spirits a cat carried it away from his cabin and ate it. The sketch is not sufficiently detailed so � we have introduced a copy of the design merely to preserve a memorial of what appears to be a novel form.� It would be another 60 years before another specimen of this new species would be caught again.Fine lithographic plates of fish by W. Mitchell printed by Hullmandel & Walton. Also bound at the rear are the first 24 pages and 6 plates of the report on Insects 'Insects of New Zealand' by Adam White 1846 which includes species of stick insects and dragonflies new to European science collected from New Zealand and the Auckland Islands.

The boards just very lightly scuffed though probably to provide a feeling of authenticity otherwise only trivial imperfections. Apart from the signs of library ownership a very fine copy the text showing virtually no signs of use. This is a presentation copy of the first library catalogue of Frances Mary Richardson Currer an Englishwoman described by De Ricci as "England’s earliest female bibliophile" and hailed by Dibdin as "the head of all female collectors in Europe." An only child Currer 1785-1861 inherited considerable assets from both her father's and her mother's families: her relative Dorothy Richardson wrote in 1815 "She is in possession of both the Richardson and Currer estates and inherits all the taste of the former family having collected a very large and valuable library . . . in addition to what were collected by her great grandfather and great-uncle." Dibdin noted that her library at Eshton Hall in North Yorkshire was surpassed only by three collections those of Earl Spencer and the dukes of Devonshire and Buckingham. According to DNB "the library had substantial holdings in natural science topography antiquities and history together with a collection of the classics. There were rarities some early printed books a collection of Bibles and a fine gathering of illustrated books. . . . Dibdin first estimated the number of volumes at 15000 and later 18000. In 1852 Sir J. B. Burke put the number at 20000." With just 40 copies printed this first printing there was a 1933 second edition is very rarely seen on the market. Robert Triphook unknown

Monastic Ruins of Yorkshire

18431177231843. First Edition. RICHARDSON William. The Monastic Ruins of Yorkshire. York: Robert Sunter 1843. Two Volumes. Elephant folio 18 by 24 inches early cloth rebacked and recornered in later dark green morocco all edges gilt. $6500.First edition of this monumental production with two hand-colored title pages a hand-colored dedication leaf 34 hand-colored full-page plates 24 hand-colored half-page plates 22 uncolored full-page plates some tinted and a map.The dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII in the 16th century left Yorkshire with a rich collection of monastic ruins captured here in a series of plates by artist William Richardson in a work that rivals the great Holy Land by David Roberts. Locations included here are Whitby Abbey Kirkstall Abbey St. Mary's York Rievaulx and Kirkham Abbeys Fountains Roche Abbey Byland and Newborough Guisborough Mount Grace Selby Abbey Bolton Priory Bridlington Priory Old Malton Priory Joraulx Abbey Sallay Abbey Sawley Abbey Monk Bretton Priory Coverham Abbey Eggleston Abbey Easby Abbey Grey Friars Richmond Howden Kirkham Priory Marrick Nun-Monkton Ellerton and Rosedale Priory. The plates were printed by the lithographic firm of William Day frequently referred to as ""Day and Hague"" because of the fine work of Belgian draughtsman and watercolorist Louis Haghe the foremost lithographer of his time. ""The firm of Day and Haghe raised lithography to perhaps the highest point it ever attained"" Abbey 340. Perhaps not surprisingly this is the same firm that printed Roberts' Holy Land. Issued in two versions one entirely uncolored and the other with many of the plates hand-colored. This copy without the uncolored plate labeled number 49 by Abbey not present or listed in the uncolored copies and often not present but in the plate list in colored copies; in this copy Abbey's plate number 74 ""Howden Tombs"" has been bound in its place.

RICHARDSON, William, & Edward ChurtonBiblio.com

The Monastic Ruins of Yorkshire.

1843185001York: Robert Sunter 1843. Richardson's really fine plates will always make this a desirable book First and only edition; a very handsome copy bound in York of one of the most resplendent English colour plate topographical books. Richardson's beautifully composed picturesque scenes superbly lithographed by George Hawkins were printed by the firm of Day & Haghe - responsible for the celebrated David Roberts folios - which "raised lithography to perhaps the highest point it ever attained" Abbey. Boyne remarks that "Richardson's really fine plates will always make this a desirable book" and notes that it was issued originally in nine parts available at nine guineas plain or eighteen guineas coloured; this copy has a mixture of both which is often the case. All the major abbeys of Yorkshire are portrayed among them Whitby Kirkstall Rievaulx Byland and Fountains as well as a number of priories and smaller religious houses. Richardson's finely rendered placid scenes populated attractively by local people and admiring visitors illustrate the exceptional richness of Yorkshire's survivals from Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries. In fact Yorkshire did not "go quietly" during that period of state-sanctioned vandalism: "The dissolution violently destroyed centuries-old communities and wiped out ancient landmarks But in the midst of the dissolution a sudden storm of opposition took the government by surprise; for a time it looked likely to threaten not only Cromwell's policy but even perhaps Henry's throne. This was the northern rising also known as the Pilgrimage of Grace which convulsed Lincolnshire Yorkshire and finally all the north in the last three months of 1536" Elton p. 145. Monastic Ruins pairs two men with deep roots in the county. York-born William Richardson 1814-1899 the son of a cabinet maker specialized in architectural and landscape subjects and exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1842 and 1869. Edward Churton 1800-1874 theologian and Spanish scholar held the living of Crayke in the North Riding of Yorkshire for forty years and from 1841 was prebendary of York Minster. "Churton saw himself as the custodian of a continuous Catholic tradition within the Church of England inherited from the Caroline divines" ODNB - making him a sympathetic choice as author. 2 vols folio 605 x 415 mm. With 2 lithograph title pages that for vol. I hand-coloured hand-coloured lithograph dedication leaf 82 lithograph plates by George Hawkins after William Richardson 32 full-page 27 half-page on text leaves 25 of these 59 are hand-coloured and mounted and 23 plain lithograph plans printed by Day & Haghe coloured decorative initials and map showing locations; text and plates mounted on white linen stubs. Contemporary red morocco by H. Potter of York gilt-stamped on the front turn-ins bevelled boards spines with four low broad gilt-decorated raised bands gilt-lettered and numbered direct in second and fourth compartments others panelled with gilt paired fillets enclosing scrolling foliate cornerpieces dots and circlets and a central lozenge composed of multiple tools gilt-lettered covers framed by alternating concentric panels of gilt triple fillets and scrolling foliate rolls gilt turn-ins Bouquet pattern marbled endpapers gilt edges. Bindings a little rubbed at extremities a few shallow indentations to covers pale stains to front cover of vol. II some foxing light tidemark at top corner of a handful of leaves at end of vol.

The Monastic Ruins of Yorkshire from drawings by William Richardson Archt. With historical descriptions by the Revd. Edward Churton M.A. Lithographed by George Hawkins

184342171York: Robert Sunter 1843. 2 volumes. Folio. 23 5/8 x 16 7/8 inches. Lithographed Dedication Contents leaf explanatory text accompanying each section of plates. Illustrated with 84 plates of which 34 are full-page hand-coloured plates 27 are hand-coloured and affixed to text pages and 23 are with tinted details or uncoloured and 1 coloured map showing localities of abbeys etc. Half brown morocco and cloths spine with raised bands forming six compartments marbled endpapers all edges gilt A rare beautifully illustrated work with magnificent hand coloured lithographs celebrating Yorkshire’s storied architectural heritage. A monumental visual and historical survey The Monastic Ruins of Yorkshire is among the most ambitious 19th-century publications devoted to Britain's early architectural heritage. Comprising 84 lithographic plates 61 hand coloured after on-site drawings by architect William Richardson and lithographed with remarkable sensitivity by George Hawkins the work offers sweeping detailed views of the region's most storied monastic sites: Fountains Abbey Rievaulx Whitby Bolton Kirkstall and many others. The accompanying texts by the Revd. Edward Churton M.A. supply rich historical commentary detailing each abbey's foundation its monastic order phases of architectural development notable benefactors and the devastation wrought by the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII. Yorkshire's landscape rugged expansive and historically wealthy in natural resources was ideally suited for the growth of monastic communities. From the 12th century onward the region became a stronghold for the Cistercians Benedictines Augustinians and Premonstratensians whose abbeys often flourished under aristocratic and royal patronage. Yorkshire's remoteness from court life its vast agricultural estates and its political significance as a northern frontier made it a vital religious and economic center in medieval England. These monasteries were not only spiritual havens but also hubs of learning manuscript production and agrarian innovation. The prominence of Yorkshire in England's monastic landscape also made it disproportionately affected by the Dissolution 1536-1541 which stripped religious houses of their lands and wealth and left their architectural shells to decay. By the 19th century these ruins overgrown sublime and emblematic of a vanished order became focal points of Romantic imagination and national identity. The present work reflects this cultural turn merging antiquarian interest with a Victorian appreciation for the picturesque. This copy is notable for its original hand colouring. While some examples were issued with colour tinting or were embellished with modern hand colouring this copy preserves the original hand-colouring. Abbey Scenery 381. Robert Sunter unknown

As Beechey explains in the introduction the appearance of this work was long frustrated and it was only after a full eight years that it saw publication. In no uncertain terms he states "that it the delay has been occasioned entirely by Mr. Gray's failing to furnish his part in spite of every intercession from myself and others." As also noted by Beechey although the nature of the Blossom's mission prevented long stays in any one locality the crew did collect an astounding number of rare and exotic species from a good variety of locations.
