A propos de cet article

First edition. London: printed by Taylor and Francis for R.H Porter and Dulau & Co., 1890. Quarto (9 11/16" x 7 1/2", 247mm x 192mm): 2 binder's blanks, ?2 a4 b-e4 f2 g2(-g2) B-2E4, 2 binder's blanks[$2 signed]. 133 leaves, pp. [12] (title, imprint, 2pp. preface, 2pp. contents, 2pp. plates, 2pp. woodcuts, errata, blank), i ii-xxxviii, 1 2-216. With 45 hand-colored lithographed plates on stubs, many heightened with gum arabic. Bound in half morocco over deep-green pebbled-cloth boards. On the spine, four raised bands with gilt fillets and finials. Title gilt to the second panel. Author gilt to the second panel. Patterned end-papers. Top edge of the text-block gilt. Cocked. Wear to the extremities, and rubbed at the edges. E.A. & O. Bangs, Boston bookplate on the front paste-down. A fine copy internally. St. George Mivart (1827-1900) is now remembered mostly as a villain; he was an esteemed biologist who came to reject Darwinian evolution as incompatible with his Catholic faith, and then came to be interdicted by the church. His work on canids, however, was met with no such disapprobation. Mivart's Canidæ is the foremost monograph on the subject. This is due in no small part to the involvement of the most eminent natural history illustrator of the Victorian era, J.G. Keulemans. Keulemans was enticed to leave Leiden for London by Richard Bowdler Sharpe (who would go on to be director of the British Museum). His work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail. E.A. and his brother Outram Bangs (the latter 1863-1932) together assembled a formidable library of natural history. Outram would come to be known as one of the foremost American ornithologists. Earlier in life, he matriculated at Harvard in 1880, and in 1890 began a project to study the mammals of eastern North America systematically. To that end, he went trapping in New England in Nova Scotia and between 1894 and 1899 published some 70 articles on the subject. Doubtless the present volume was acquired in an effort to aid that major study (which remains unpublished). Nissen, ZBI 2846.…
