18426997London:: Longman Brown Green & Longman 1842. First edition. Near Fine condition in original color. Supplementary Pl. III. Black-faced Heath Breed. Ram 3 years old bred by Mr. Thomas Robertson Broomlea. County of Peebles. A scarce original hand-painted lithograph; drawn & printed on stone by Fairland from a drawing by Mr. Nicholson R.S.A. Member of the Royal Scottish Academy after a painting by Mr. Sheils R.S.A Folio 16.75 x 12 inches. Professor David Low 1786-1859 was a Professor of Agriculture at the University of Edinburgh who created this series to document the pure bred domestic animals of the British Isles in an effort to educate both the landed gentry and common breeders on the importance of selective breeding of animals in their natural environment. Unlike the traditional nineteenth century animal paintings- which often accentuated the useable portions of the beast to glorify the breeder- Professor Low 's animal portraits of the prized breeds were accurately rendered in their actual and appropriate environment as an attestment to fine animal husbandry. In addition the animals are set in lovely nineteenth century British pastoral or mountain settings thus making the appeal of the work twofold: as a fine work of animal portraiture as well as a fine classic landscape.

18094805London:: George Shaw and E. Nodder 1809. First edition. Fine condition with original bright hand-coloring. . A Fine and rare original hand-colored copperplate engraving by Frederick Polydore Nodder and/or his son Richard Polydore Nodder from The Naturalist's Miscellany. Octavo 6 x 9.5 inches 15.24 x 24.13 cm. Includes the original text in both English and Latin by George Shaw MD FRS. The Naturalist's Miscellany distinguished by the refined hand-colored copperplate engravings and astute naturalists' observations was aptly named as a diverse naturalists' compendium of the birds mammals reptiles insects fish and crustacean identified by seventeenth and eighteenth century naturalists spanning the globe particularly around the South Seas. Many of nature's most fascinating and unusual creatures were discovered during this period several of which were introduced through The Naturalist's Miscellany. Doctor George Shaw 1751-1813 Fellow of the Royal Society cofounder of the Linnaean Society as well as Zoologist of the British Museum contributed the text. Publication of the Naturalist's Miscellany ceased with his death in 1813. Upon the death of the artist FP Nodder 1770-1800 his wife Elizabeth and their son Richard Polydore Nodder 1793-1820 contributed artistically and editorially to the publication. Indeed a family affair both Frederick Polydore Nodder and his son Richard produced every one of the plates. A gifted and distinguished naturalist Frederick P. Nodder was the preferred Botanical Painter to Her Majesty Queen Charlotte. His early skills as botanical and animal draughtsman and engraver were honed from his association with Sir Joseph Banks who employed Nodder to complete and engrave the drawings from the sketchbooks of the late Sydney Parkinson. Parkinson accompanied Banks as botanical draughtsman aboard Captain James Cook's The Endeavor in 1771. Parkinson died on the return of this South Seas Voyage. These engravings along with the natural history collections of the British Museum were the basis for the mastery of the Naturalist's Miscellany. Frederick's son Richard P. Nodder a gifted animal painter in his own right was distinguished as botanic painter to King George III. At the time of its creation The Naturalist's Miscellany was highly coveted as a definitive natural history offering and as was the custom the work was issued in installments between 1790 and 1813. Each volume was dedicated by permission and dutifully inscribed to the most devoted patrons and contributors of the natural historical pursuits of eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain: Queen Charlotte Sir Joseph Banks Thomas Pennant Esq.
