A propos de cet article

Title: British Birds Author: W. H. Hudson (William Henry Hudson, 1841–1922) Contributor: Frank E. Beddard, F.R.S. Illustrators: Archibald Thorburn, G. E. Lodge and R. B. Lodge Publisher: Longmans, Green, and Co., London, New York and Bombay Publication Date: 1897 Edition: New Edition (first published 1895) Binding: Hardcover, original publisher's red cloth with gilt decoration Pagination: xxii, 363 pages Illustrations: 8 coloured plates by A. Thorburn, 8 black-and-white plates and 100 text figures by G. E. Lodge, with 3 illustrations from photographs by R. B. Lodge Condition: Good Dust Jacket: None Description: An attractive Victorian edition of British Birds by the distinguished Anglo-Argentine naturalist W. H. Hudson, published by Longmans, Green, and Co. in 1897. This important work of British ornithology combines detailed descriptions of native bird species with Hudson's characteristic observations of their habits, behaviour, habitats and natural history. The volume includes a specialist chapter on structure and classification by the zoologist Frank E. Beddard. Particularly desirable for its eight beautiful chromolithographic colour plates after original drawings by the celebrated wildlife artist Archibald Thorburn, together with numerous black-and-white illustrations by G. E. Lodge. The colour plates include striking depictions of the Golden Eagle and Goldfinch, retaining excellent colour and artistic definition. Bound in the publisher's original red cloth, with gilt spine lettering and an attractive gilt bird illustration to the front board, enclosed within a double gilt border. Condition: Good. The original red cloth boards remain present, with the decorative gilt bird and border retaining considerable brightness. The spine exhibits noticeable rubbing, fading and surface wear, with fraying at the head and foot. Corners and board edges show age-related wear. Internally, there is scattered foxing, particularly affecting the title page, preliminary leaves and margins. The illustrated tissue guards show some browning and spotting. The colour plates photographed remain vibrant and well defined. The complete collation and firmness of the binding have not been independently verified. An appealing nineteenth-century ornithological work, combining Hudson's celebrated nature writing with the exceptional bird illustrations of Archibald Thorburn.…
