Edition originale
4to., (11 4/8 x 8 4/8 inches). 48 hand-coloured lithographic plates (some occasionally heavy spotting throughout) Contemporary half diced calf (a little rubbed at extremities). Provenance: With the engraved armorial bookplate of George Savile Foljambe (died 1869), his sale "The Foljambe Collection removed from Osberton Hall" Christie's 30th April 2008, lot 56. First edition. Collates as per Anker 516, without their plate CCCLXX but with plate CCCLXXI not called for in Anker bound at end. The title is derived from the part wrappers (not present here) - no title-page was issued. Originally published in twelve "Livraison" (literally little books) each with one sheet of text and six plates, between 1823 and 1830. "The text (pp.1-55) is a systematically arranged synopsis of the group of birds ('Classe seconde de la zoologie'), with diagnoses of orders, families, and genera, while the remainder of the text (pp.1-8) contains the beginning of the account of the 'Histoire naturelle des Accipitres, ou oiseaux de proie', with descriptions to Pl. I and II and the beginning of the text to Pl. III and IV" (Anker). In the present work, the binder has placed the text for the 'Accipitres' at the beginning. Very little is known of the life of this famous ornithologist closely associated with American as well as French birds: in all 26 genera and 32 species of North American bird were originally described by Vieillot. Vieillot gave the Wild Turkey, the Pintail, the Cedar Waxwing, and the Scarlet Tanager their latin scientific names. Anker 516; Nissen BBI 958; Ronsil 3030.

Edition originale
2 volumes. 4to., (13 4/8 x 10 inches). Half-titles and sectional titles, list of subscribers. 189 fine etched plates printed in colour by Langlois, finished by hand, and HEIGHTENED IN GOLD, including 6 large folding plates (some heavy spotting and staining). 19th-century half brown morocco, marbled paper boards, gilt, top edges gilt, others uncut (worn with minor loss at the extremities). First edition, limited issue, one of 100 quarto sets printed on papier velin with the captions printed in black, of a total edition of 313, which included 200 folio sets with the plate captions printed in gold, 12 folio sets with the plate captions and the text printed in gold, one set printed in gold on vellum. The work was issued in 32 parts over 26 months and is divided into 10 sections Anker records that the magnificent plates, which are heightened with gold, that the 'colours of the birds and their handsome appearance have evidently been the cause of their selection for inclusion in the book. The plates with the bird portraits are in beautiful colours; in this respect they are among the best colour prints found in ornithology'. The plates were etched by Audebert from his own designs and those of 'les plus belles peintres de Paris et de Londres'; Louis Bouquet assisted with the colouring and Langlois with the printing in oil-colours, and the whole process used in the printing of the plates was invented by Audebert. All the colours were printed from a single plate, and oil paint was substituted for the more common gouache. Originally a miniature painter, Audubert became interested in natural history after meeting Gigot-d'Orex in 1789, a wealthy collector of specimens, who employed him to paint some of them. Tragically Audebert died at the young age of 41, and this is the last book he completed before his death. The text is largely by Vieillot who continued the work using Audebert's notes after the latter's death in 1800.
