18355592Edinburgh:: WH Lizars 1835. First edition. Fine with original hand-coloring. A fine original hand-colored steel engraving with bright original hand-coloring. 6.75 x 4.25 inches 10.8 x 17.15 cm. 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. WH Lizars, unknown
