1893CRR2302Farnborough Kent: Published by the Author 1893. FIRST EDITION. 385 x 298 mm. 15 1/4 x 11 5/8". xvi lacking final two leaves of introduction 111 1 pp. <br/> Recent dark green quarter morocco over green cloth boards raised bands spine panels with gilt lettering. 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

With 93 total color plates after paintings by Louis Agassiz Fuertes and Allan Brooks 48 total pages of black and white photographic plates and numerous illustrations printed in the text.

Volume I with a few small areas of worming mostly to rear endpaper and adjacent pages text not affected front cover with a thin trailing discoloration from damp the bindings otherwise bright and clean with just trivial shelfwear. A nice bright little-used copy internally.<br/> <br/> The result of the combined efforts of several of the most important American ornithologists of the early 20th century this is an attractively illustrated reference book intended to "interest the general public of Massachusetts and New England in birds and their rational conservation" via a usable field guide. Edward Howe Forbush 1858-1929 was an economic ornithologist who for many years served as the Director of the Department of Ornithology of the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture. This book represents a culmination of his career; Forbush died shortly before the completion of the final volume and it was edited and furnished with a glowing bibliographical sketch by Forbush’s colleagues who write that he was "a pioneer in the field of conservation and much of our progressive legislation of to-day is due to his far-sighted policy in urging greater protection for our wild life and to his efforts in stimulating public opinion in this direction." The first volume here covers water birds the second land birds from bob-whites to grackles and the third land birds from sparrows to thrushes. The work features animated illustrations by Louis Agassiz Fuertes 1874-1927. He was a lecturer in ornithology at Cornell and an outstanding painter of birds; in the words of the Audubon Society his "work was distinguished not only by the minute detail of each illustration but by his ability to capture each species' way of acting and holding itself. Every bird he painted seemed to have its own unique and vital personality." The third volume was completed following Fuertes’ untimely death so his illustrations are supplemented with a final 24 artworks by Allan Brooks 1869-1946. Brooks like Forbush and Fuertes was a respected member of the ornithological community and furnished illustrations of birds for publications both in his native Canada and throughout the world.

Wear to spine and extremities of wrapper lower cover detached but present. First Separate Appearance. 1 vols. 8vo. This work appeared in the Communications of the Essex Institute in May 1868 titled "Catalogue of the Birds of North America contained in the Museum." Coues stated that "the reprint gives the faunal list precedence over the museum catalouge but this is true only as regards the title-the general text is unaltered" Ayer. According to Coues there were only 50 copies of this reprint.<br /> <br /> Elliott Coues 1842-1899 became interested in natural history in particular ornithology when his family moved from New Hampshire to Washington D. C. Coues became aquainted with the Smithsonian Institution and its collections which fed his interests in natural history. As an assistant surgeon in the Army during the Civil War Coues "collected studied and published extensively on birds during his peripatetic military assignments" DSB at various forts in Arizona North Carolina and in the Dakota Territory. Later he served as naturalist for the Northen Boundary Commission 1873-1876 and for the Hayden survey in the ensuing four years. He was professor of anatomy at Columbian College now George Washington University from 1877 to 1886 and was editor of natural history subjects for the "Century Dictionary." He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences among numerous other societies and was a founder of the American Ornithologists' Union an early conservation group. Coues published some very well-received innovative tracts on birds with "Key to North American Birds" and "Check-List of North American Birds." "A distinctive feature of the "Check-List" was Coues's corrections in the orthography and pronunciation of original scientific names . . . He was a leader in the trend of his era toward reducing the great number of species names to varieties especially in local forms" DSB. He was considered a "lucid writer with a charming style second only and successor to Spencer F. Baird his mentor in ornithology Coues presented a great deal of information on the behavior and life histories of birds" DSB. Late in life he checked and annotated manuscripts of various American western exploration most notably the journals of Lewis and Clark and of Zebulon Pike. "In his meticulous fashion he retraced the explorers' routes and enlarged considerably upon their natural history observa. Ayer p. 142 Essex Institute Press unknown
