About This Item

Stockholm, Natur och Kultur, 1947. Large 8vo (29.5 x 19.3 cm). About 1400 pp.; 47 coloured plates, numerous b/w plates. Contemporary black buckram with gilt title on the spine. A well-illustrated work by the Swedish zoologist, ecologist and environmentalist Kai Curry-Lindahl (1917-1990). Fairly common (in Sweden), but this is a seldom-seen dedication copy, with, on the title page, the author's many thanks and compliments to Kenneth Douglas Morrison and the National Audubon Society. Morrison (1918-2011) was the Society's Publication Director, editor of the Audubon Magazine and - later - President. Pagination is odd, as if more was to be published and inserted, but this copy is complete. Small inscription in the margin of the front free endpaper recto, otherwise a very good, clean copy.
