A propos de cet article

A very good to near fine copy of the 1st edition of the final volume in Jardine's Naturalist's Library in the original publisher's cloth binding. This volume covers seagulls and ducks among others. With volume listing; black and white frontispiece portrait of Wilson; black and white vignette title page with seagulls; 2 further title pages; publisher's advert; contents listing; Memoir of Alexander Wilson; chronological table to the memoirs in the Naturalist's Library; text with black and white illustrations; directions for the binder; and 31 hand coloured plates. A set of title pages for the entire series dated 1843 is bound at the rear in case subscribers wanted all their volumes to have a uniform publication date. The plates are numbered 1-30, but there is plate 2 and 2*. The binding has little of the usual fading with the spine just a little lighter than the boards. Spine ends are pulled and there is a 1 cm cloth tear about half way down the rear spine joint. Edges and corners with light wear. Internally the original green endpapers are present in very clean condition. There is the bookplate of John Pinsent at the front pastedown endpaper with the statement 'Wines lose their savour; women lose their looks; But Nothing ever happens to my books' in English and Latin. The contents are in near fine condition being very clean with little toning apart from text page edges and some spotting to the foredge. The plates are beautifully coloured with slight offsetting to their tissue guards. A couple of text pages have miss-cut bottom corners which have been turned in. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.

Description de la librairie

We are a small online bookselling business specialising in rare and unusual books, generally published before 1900, with a focus on natural history, history, illustrated works and some literature. We are based in the beautiful Orkney Islands and have a specialist Orkney/Shetland section in our listings. We run a bookshop in Orkney - Birsay Books - where we have a wide range of stock from science fiction and fantasy to maritime and, of course, Orkney/Shetland and Scottish material. We take images of all of our books to supplement the online descriptions, and are always happy to provide more on request. When you order from us, we ensure that books are properly packed to protect their condition and we always use recorded or 'signed for' postal services for additional security. Because we are based on an island which depends on ferries and flights for shipping, we can not guarantee 'next day' delivery. We will simply get your purchase to you as quickly and safely as we can.
