About This Item
[6], 52 pp. + 21 plates.Third copy located of the first and only edition of an epitome of ornithology, with 117 hand-coloured illustrations newly printed from the 21 plates originally produced by Jan Caspar Philips (pre-1700-1775) for the ornithological parts of Martinus Houttuyn's great Linnean Natuurlijke Historie (vol. I, parts 4 & 5, 1762-1763). The title-page notes that the book covers the "rarest and most important domestic and foreign birds" with the plates "carefully coloured from life." In Houttuyn's natural history, the plates were coloured only in some copies.With a tear into one plate (II), but otherwise a good copy, with slight browning along a vertical fold in one plate, two vertical folds in each plate and a small marginal tear and a couple minor stains in the text volume. Manuscript annotations in ink. A very rare ornithological treatise and new printing of Houttuyn's ornithological plates.l Saakes IX (1829), p. 3; WorldCat (1 copy); cf. Landwehr, Coloured Plates 82, plates 29-49; not in Anker; Ayer; Nissen, IVB etc.
