JOHN GOULD (1804-1881) & RICHARD BOWDLER SHARPE (1847-1909)
The Birds of New Guinea and the adjacent Papuan islands, including many new species recently discovered in Australia. London: Taylor and Francis for Henry Sotheran & Co., 1875-1888. 5 volumes, large 2 (548 x 364mm). 320 FINE HAND-COLOURED LITHOGRAPHIC PLATES by Gould and William Hart, printed by Walter or the Mintern Brothers. Green morocco gilt, covers with broad ruled and tooled border, spine in six compartments with double raised bands, lettered in two, the others with decorative symmetrical pattern composed from various small tools, gilt turn-ins, g.e., for Sotheran & Co. (light scuffing along lower edge). Provenance: Henry George Charles, Viscount Lascelles (armorial bookplate).
A VERY FINE COPY OF GOULD'S LAST MAJOR WORK. Gould died on 3 February 1881 shortly after the publication of the 12th part. The remaining 13 parts were edited or written by Sharpe and illustrated by Hart. The Birds-of-Paradise and parrots are particularly spectacular. The work is often considered as a companion publication to The Birds of Australia. Anker 181; Fine Bird Books p.78; Nissen IVB 373; Sauer 27; Wood p.365; Zimmer pp.262-263. (5)
