London: G. Bell & Sons Ltd [1948 - 1973]. Over 1300 fine botanical line drawings, a complete set of the 31 original parts, in eight bound volumes. There is very slight variation in the colour of the blue bindings, very slight rubbing, the spine head of the first and fourth volumes are slightly torn, the endpapers are a little age-toned, otherwise a very good clean set. A duplicate set from Cambridge Botanic Garden, but the only markings seem to be a small withdrawn stamp on each title page. [Very heavy - extra postage will be required]. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good. Illus. by Ross-Craig, Stella.

Description:
1856. Second royal octavo edition. Very good +. The royal octavo edition of Birds of America as first published in 1840-44, and was followed by several more editions. This plate is from the second edition, published in 1856, distinct for the colored backgrounds. They are also a little different in that one species is pictured rather than a grouping of birds. This work was done to make Audubon's prints, highly in demand, more affordable for the general public. These hand colored lithographs were printed by J. T. Bowen. This plate still has the tissue guard. This plate shows the adult and juvenile male, and the female on a branch of Caprifolium Flavum.
