Lady Beetles (Plate 11) Hand-colored Lithograph from Ebenezer Emmons’ Agriculture of New York Publ. 1846-54, Albany Quarto (approx 11.5” x 9”) Strong color on mostly clean paper - minor edge soiling. In 1836, the New York State Legislature passed an act to provide for a geological and natural history survey of New York State. Survey staff were charged "to make an accurate and complete geological survey of this state…and furnish a full and scientific description of its rocks, soils and minerals, and of its botanical and zoological productions." The information collected was published in six sections: zoology, botany, mineralogy, geology, agriculture and paleontology. Agriculture of New York: This five-volume set by Ebenezer Emmons was published between 1846 and 1854. It includes an account of the classification, composition and distribution of the soils and rocks, as well as a view of the agricultural productions of NYS. The Details: I try to give a complete description of every item I offer for sale, as well as providing sharp, accurate pictures. Please use the zoom feature to examine the items carefully. I answer all questions promptly, and I appreciate having any errors I may have made corrected. (Even though I have been buying and selling prints for nearly forty years, I continue to be amazed at how much I don’t know. ) I ship within one business day of receiving payment. I normally use flat packaging, Prints over 20” in length I will ship in a tube, unless the weight of the paper makes rolling inadvisable. If a buyer has particular shipping preferences he or she should contact me prior to making payment. Domestic Shipping: I ship most domestic orders either by insured USPS Priority mail, or First Class insured. My shipping charges reflect this cost. I am willing to mail in more economical ways at the buyer’s request, but if the buyer asks to waive insurance, I cannot assume responsibility for any loss or damage. I combine shipping charges on multiple sales, so buyer should wait for my invoice at the end of the auction. If the buyer wishes to make special arrangements for shipping, he or she should contact me before paying. Books: Media Mail is eBay’s default shipping method for books, and the only shipping charge permissible. Other shipping methods are available. I will provide an alternative with the invoice I send. The buyer can choose which to pay. International Shipping: I normally ship by First Class Mail. This is the most economical way to safely ship internationally, but there is no insurance available. In case of loss, I am only able to provide proof that the item was, indeed, shipped. If the buyer would like his or her purchase insured, International Priority Mail is available, but at a higher price. I recommend this option when the item is large and/or valuable. Buyer should contact me before payment is made. Payment: Please pay through PayPal . I would like to receive payment within five days of the auction closing. It often happens that a buyer will ask me to wait because he or she is interested in bidding on other lots. I am always willing to wait, but I do like to hear from the buyer if payment is to be delayed. Customer Satisfaction is very important to me. If there are any issues with an item purchased from me, I want to hear about it right away, and I will make every attempt to resolve the issue. Any item may be returned to me for a full refund, only with the buyer paying return shipping. Be sure to write first. Your feedback is the way I know that you have received your purchase and are satisfied. Please take the time to leave feedback for me. It helps me and it helps other buyers. read more
