18356926Edinburgh:: WH Lizars 1835. First edition. Fine. A fine original hand-colored steel engraving with bright original hand-coloring. 6.75 x 4.25 inches 10.8 x 17.15 cm. Beautifully framed in Malachite burl frame with deep turquoise blue-green french matting. This engraving is classified as one of the finest natural history miniatures produced during the mid-nineteenth century. A refined and intelligent work The Naturalist's Library was created for everyone with an interest in the natural world. Sir William Jardine 1800-1847 noted Scottish Ichthyologist and Ornithologist combined the talents of his colleagues; Edward Lear Prideaux John Selby William Swainson to contribute to The Naturalist's Library. The intention of the series was to create a fine yet affordable work describing and illustrating all elements of the natural world save botany. In addition several plates were engraved after noted artists: John James Audubon John Gould and Maria Sibylla Merian. The success of the publication was apparent by the production of forty subsequent volumes. The engraver of the work was William H. Lizars who at the time produced the first ten plates of John James Audubon's magnum opus the Double Elephant Folio Edition of The Birds of America. For The Naturalist's Library Lizars engraved the miniature plates in steel opposed to copper to render meticulously detailed settings for each described species. Traditionally only the major subject either bird animal insect or fish was individually painted with watercolor the background remained uncolored. This work has withstood the test of time and continues to be a fine and affordable option to the lavish engraved work of many natural history masters. Archivally Framed WH Lizars, unknown

She was a member of various botanical art societies; she exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society RHS Botanical Art exhibitions held in The Lindley Hall London; for the 2004 exhibition she prepared a mixed collection of botanical works including studies of Romneya coulteri and Papaver orientalis 'Beauty of Livermere' in a later exhibition she presented a themed collection featuring various Meconopsis blue popy species and cultivars.

200525050101Blackwell Publishing Australia 2005. Reprint. Hardcover. Fine. Hardcover. 1137 pages. PUBLISHING DETAILS: Blackwell Publishing Australia 2005. Reprint. CONDITION: This book is in fine condition. More specifically: Boards have no wear rubbing or soiling. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. ABOUT THIS BOOK: This text is divided into three main sections: the mare the stallion and the neonate. Each is equally important to veterinarians involved in equine reproductive practice. Too often interest in the mare wanes once her pregnancy is diagnosed. Monitoring of pregnancy and neonatal care are areas of prime importance because presumably the aim of any breeding program is to produce viable offspring. In addition education regarding stallion reproductive physiology and management is alarmingly sparse and the stallion is often neglected despite being half the fertility equation. The discussions of the mare and stallion are divided into the following topics: anatomy physiology and endocrinology; breeding management; diseases of the reproductive tract; and reproductive surgery. Additional topics in the section on the mare are pregnancy parturition and the puerperal period. Discussion of the neonate is divided into neonatal care and diseases according to body systems.
