London: Richard Miller (for 1812 issue); Lackington, Hughes, Mavor and Jones for 1819, 1812. Historically significant pair of volumes pertaining to British topography and archaelogy (including Stonehenge). The 1812 date is for the South Wiltshire volume, which was published before the North Wiltshire (in 1819). This is quite a nice set with a full 126 plates and maps (many route maps and topographical plates; full index and list/order of plates at rear of each volume). There are 74 plates in the earlier volume, and 52 in the other. The 1819 N. Wiltshire volume is half-leather, and sympathetically rebacked in style so that the pair is matched in terms of 6-compartment gilt-lettered spines. The front board, though present, has completely separated. The 1812 S. Wiltshire is full leather, AEG. These binding (cover) differences are often present, given the differential dates of publication. The frontispieces are present in both volumes (Mr. William Cunnington in the S. Wiltshire volume; Sir Richard Hoare in the N. Wiltshire). The 1812 vol: 2 title pages, dedication to Cunnington, 254 pages, general index, list of plates. The 1819: 2 title pages, dedication to Sir Joseph Banks, 126pp, general index, list of plates. Most of the original tissue guards are present. Armorial bookplate of Glen Conner in both volumes; the N. Wiltshire has a dedication plate to St. Mary Magdelene College of Oxford on the front pastedown. Both bindings are quite tight. Sir Richard Colt Hoare was descended from Sir Richard Hoare, Lord Mayor of London , who had married the younger daughter of Henry Hoare, founder of the family banking business (Richard Colt Hoare's grandfather). (See CD-Rom version of DNB.) This family financial strength enabled the author to pursue his ambitions as an antiquary. These volumes on Wiltshire are general considered his most important work. The quality of the b&w engravings (some of the iters, or strip maps, with color coded routes; the name seems derived from Roman road maps) is quite high. This is a remarkably well-preserved set (19 inch elephant folios). Several copies are shown via the online KVK catalogue.. Very Good. Elephant Folio - over 15" - 23" tall.

Philadelphia:: Audubon, J.J.,, 1845.. Imperial Folio Edition. Very Good Condition with original hand-coloring. . Original hand-colored lithograph by JT Bowen after painting by John James Audubon, FRS, FLS. Imperial Folio; 213/8 x 27 3/8 inches. Very Good condition; toning to extreme edges of sheet. 1/2 inch chip on top edge. Archivally double matted and framed in 1 inch gilt moulding. A classic Audubon still life: a charming composition of two mice nibbling on a corncob in a harvested field. The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America (Philadelphia c.1845-48) represents the culmination of a lifelong dream held by America's most prominent naturalist and visionary, John James Audubon (1785-1851). Following the completion of his magnum opus, the Double Elephant Folio Edition of Birds of America, c. 1824-38, Audubon was at liberty to pursue a project close to his heart, large scale portraits of all of North America's native animals. Audubon's effort to render America…

An extra-illustrated volume with 22 engravings, lithographs, half-tones and especially important 9 mounted original photographs by an unknown photographer showing the two orangoutans (living and as stuffed animals) with their zookeeper, their taxidermist (?) and with an exotic looking young male.

They were imported from Borneo and travelled throughout Europe, public viewing was possible in Antwerp, Bruxelles and Paris. Within a year they died from stress and pneumonia.

Description:
London : Harrison and Co , 1785 A rare and beautiful introduction to natural history. In 2 folio volumes with 99 (of 100) hand coloured plates by Moses Harris and others after his style. Martyn is a pseudonym for William Fordyce Mavor, who authored a wide range of works. The books are set out alphabetically, with the plates reflecting this classification, so they can portray lizards and lynx side by side on the same plate. The pages are double column and unpaginated. The text for each animal is thoughtfully put together eg for the guinea pig 'The Guinea-Pig is a very cleanly creature and totally different from that that affords it a name....Guinea-Pigs repose on their bellies, pretty much in their usual posture...'. The plates are nicely coloured and the ones by Moses Harris (butterflies, moths and shells) are particularly well drawn. This copy is in a contemporary half leather binding with marbled boards. The half leather corners have been replaced with a paper cover. There is some wear to…
