1869WRCAM54227Chicago 1869. 2133-337viiiiv pp. plus portrait frontispiece and fourteen plates some colored. Original printed wrappers. Wrappers chipped spine partially perished. Faint institutional stamp on front wrapper. Very good with nice clean plates. In a half morocco box. One of the rarest American color plate books and among the earliest ornithological representations from Alaska. Only fifty copies were thought to be printed and it is estimated that half of that number perished in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The pertinent section is contained on pages 267- 337 comprising Dall and Bannister's LIST OF THE BIRDS OF ALASKA WITH BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES including S.F. Baird's descriptions of these new Alaskan species entitled ON ADDITIONS TO THE BIRD-FAUNA OF NORTH AMERICA MADE BY THE SCIENTIFIC CORPS OF THE RUSSO-AMERICAN TELEGRAPH EXPEDITION on pages 311-325. <br> <br> Most important are the eight color lithographs of Alaskan birds bound at the rear of the volume. The birds were drawn by noted ornithological artist Edwin Sheppard and engraved by J.T. Bowen & Co. of Philadelphia the firm which had previously printed the octavo editions of John James Audubon's THE BIRDS OF AMERICA. The plates identify numerous species new to American ornithology the names of which can be taken from Baird's descriptions as follows: <br> <br> 1 Plate XXVII: Kennicott's Owl. <br> <br> 2 Plate XXVIII: Gray-eared Finch Hepburn's Finch and Spermophila badiiventris. <br> <br> 3 Plate XXIX: Cassin's Bullfinch and Bischoff's Song Sparrow. <br> <br> 4 Plate XXX: Yellow Wagtail Kennicott's Warbler and Alaska Wren. <br> <br> 5 Plate XXXI: Sterna aleutica and Cassin's Auk. <br> <br> 6 Plate XXXII: Limosa uropygialis. <br> <br> 7 Plate XXXIII: Crested Cormorant. <br> <br> 8 Plate XXXIV: Slender-billed Petrel and Rodgers' Fulmar Petrel. <br> <br> By 1923 this work was already "one of the rarest American bird books" according to an Anderson Galleries catalogue from that year which also described the plates as "very fine and most of them contributed by the munificence of individual citizens of Chicago of that time bear the names of the donors." <br> <br> Also contains Robert Kennicott's journal on pages 133-226. "Kennicott.made a trip to the Red River country in 1857 and two years later went to British and Arctic America for the Smithsonian Institution as far as Fort Yukon. In 1865 he surveyed a route for a telegraph line for Western Union in Alaska and on the Yukon River. He died at Fort Nulato Alaska in 1866" - Graff. <br> <br> A work of supreme interest for the Alaskan collector. NISSEN 218. SITWELL 89. HOWES C375 "b." CHICAGO ANTE-FIRE IMPRINTS 1518.

Housed in a matching green morocco-backed clamshell box lined with velvet by J & S Brockman. CONTAINING 27 HAND-COLORED PLATES each enhanced with gum Arabic by J. G. Kuelemans. Fine Bird Books p. 92; Ayer/Zimmer p.178; Wood p. 324. ◆A couple of plates with very minor foxing or an isolated spot but IN VERY FINE CONDITION inside and out the leaves quite smooth and clean and with vast margins.<br/> <br/> This is an important and beautifully illustrated work on the Coraciidae a spritely family of birds known for their vibrant plumage and acrobatic aerial displays. Predominantly found in Africa and parts of the near East "rollers" as these birds are commonly known are much admired for their extraordinary coloring ranging from bright blues violets and bright pinks to soft peach and burnt orange. The artist of the present work Dutch illustrator John Gerrard Keulemans 1842-1912 was a much sought-after draughtsman in the world of ornithology. Here he depicts each bird with his usual precision and fine detail and captures a rainbow of shades with richly saturated hues and subtle gradations. Zimmer calls the work a "Thoroughly detailed study of the group with excellent hand-colored plates." The son of a timber merchant Henry Eeles Dresser 1838-1915 travelled widely for his father's business which also afforded him the opportunity to study birds in far-flung regions such as Finland the Baltics and New Brunswick where the company operated a lumber mill. He even travelled to Texas during the Civil War bringing back with him more than 400 species of bird skins from the region. Dresser became one of the leading ornithologists of his day was elected to the British Ornithologists' Union the Linnean Society and the Zoological Society and amassed a formidable collection of skins and eggs. In addition to the present work he wrote another monograph on a related species of birds the monumental multi-volume "History of Birds in Europe" as well as numerous scholarly articles. We are able to price our handsomely presented and quite fine copy advantageously because of the two missing leaves from the introduction. Published by the Author unknown
