Sobre este artículo
New York: V. G. Audubon, 1856. Second Royal Octavo Edition. All three volumes of this complete set are in very good condition in 1/2 brown, leather and figured, brown cloth covered boards with five raised bands on the spine with two compartments stamped in gilt text. All three volumes are small quartos of 10 1/2 by 7 inches with the edges of the text blocks marbled to match the end sheets. The leather is rubbed and worn on all edges and worn through over the tips of the boards. The front paste downs have an early prior owner's, small book plate affixed. The preliminaries and end sheets for all three volumes are heavily foxed. The contents are generally clean, but occasional spots of foxing appear more randomly than consistently. The hinges and joints for all three are tight and strong. Volume I contains 383 pages including an index and is illustrated with 49 hand-colored plates with title page reading 1856, but with an error in its Roman Numerals. Volume II contains 334 pages including an index and is illustrated with 51 hand-colored plates with the title page showing 1854 in Roman Numerals correctly. Volume III contains 348 pages including an index and is illustrated with 55 hand-colored plates, with plate 137 (Sea Otter) chipped on the fore edge of the plate in the margin. In this case there is no date on the title page.
