A propos de cet article

6 volumes (5 volumes of plates and index volume). landscape folio [36.5x26.5cm]. original cloth, with card slip-cases for the plate volumes, with some wear to the cases. some fading to spines, otherwise in good clean condition. [very heavy books that will require extra shipping costs for overseas orders. please see our storefront page for shipping information] Thomas Albert Glover was born in Nagasaki in 1870, the son of an English businessman. He founded the Nagasaki Trawling Company and his interest in the fish of the region led to him creating, over a 21 year period, his magnificent picture book illustrating 800 species of fish, mollusca and crustacea. Glover would visit the fish market early in the morning to obtain fresh specimens which would immediately be painted by professional artists so that the vibrant, fresh colours could be faithfully reproduced. Glover died in 1945 and his life's work was bequeathed to Mr. Keizo Shibuwasa, who donated it to the Faculty of Fisheries at Nagasaki University in 1950. Around 1971, funding was made available to the Faculty to produce a printed edition of Glover's Book of Fishes, the first time it had appeared in print. All 801 colour plates were reproduced, reduced in size, but with every effort made to retain the original colours. Morphological descriptions have been added, as well as commentary on distribution, catch, utilisation, etc., and specialist authorities were brought in to determine the identity of questionable species. The text of the separate index volume appears in both Latin and Japanese, with the foreword also appearing in English, otherwise any text is only in Japanese. The work was published between 1973 and 1976 in a limited edition of 300 sets, with most if not all, being supplied to relevant institutions; this set being one of those and as to be expected, carries external shelf number labels and occasional discreet library stamps (not on the plates). The only recorded set in the UK is held at London's Natural History Museum.…
