Removed from “THE NATURALIST'S LIBRARY. Vol. XIV. ORNITHOLOGY. GALLINACEOUS BIRDS." � Edited by Sir William Jardine, Bart. � Edinburgh;� W.H. Lizars, London, ca. 1830’s to 1840’s.� Jardine made natural history available to all levels of Victorian society by editing and issuing the hugely popular forty volumes of The Naturalist’s Library (1833-1843). He took on the services of William Lizars to render these lovely hand-colored steel engravings of birds which today are most sought after. These single-sided, cream-colored plates measures 4.25 by 6.75 inches with tissue guards still attached to most.� The edges are rough on the disbound side.� These 180-year old prints are in good shape and they show their age in the form of slight browning of the paper, and occasional spotting and foxing.� The meticulous original hand-coloring on this volume is superb.Winning bidder pays $4 shipping for any number of prints going to a U.S. destination.� Anywhere else in the world, pay $14.� To take advantage of the combined shipping offer, put all your intended purchases in the shopping cart first before committing to pay.�
