18355590Edinburgh:: 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

19023756New York:: Forest Fish and Game Commision c. 1902. First printing. Fine condition. . A Fine original chromolithograph printed on heavy coated stock. Quarto 9 x 12.5 Inches. Published as part of the unbound portfolio of prints. This is one of the finest of the late 19th to early 20th century American chromolithographs: a color-printed lithograph in which a separate stone was used for the application of each color thus requiring meticulous registration to recreate the subtle tones of blended color simulating the iridescence of the fish. This fine chromolithograph was produced from the original watercolors by Sherman Foote Denton 1856-1937 who pioneered the technique for preserving the fish in preparation for depiction by which the specimen retained its vivid and authentic iridescence and coloration. As stated in the Annual Reports of the State of NY Fisheries Game and Forest Commissions c. 1898-1909: "no colored figures of fishes in existence exceed them for truthfulness or beauty of execution." This image is digitally watermarked for online display purposes only. The original print is in fine unaltered condition. Forest, Fish and Game Commision, unknown
