Sobre este artículo
Fine illustrated and antiquarian Ornithology . 1st. Ed. Pub. Henry Sotheran & Co. [1898]-1902. Two volume set with engraved frontispiece portrait and 149 hand-coloured lithographed plates by and after J.G. Keuelemans. Folio. Hardbacks. TEG. Portrait tissue-guard showing some creasing. Only very occasional, very minor spotting, and a little off-setting, o/w. contents exceptionally clean and fine. Contemporary green half-morocco, spines gilt decorated and lettered, over green cloth boards, gently sunned on spines, in excellent, nr. fine condition. A very pleasing set indeed. "A thorough monograph of a limited section of the family Turdidae ... Several new species are described. The hand-coloured plates by Keulemans are excellent" (Zimmer). Seebohm passed away in 1895. By that time had overseen completion of most of the plates, but the supporting text was unfinished. Richard Bowdler Sharpe�s subsequent contribution ensured that the work was published.
