KEULEMANS, John Gerrard (1842-1912). A Natural History of Cage Birds. London: E. Newman for John van Voorst, 1871.

Parts I-IV (all published) in one volume, 8 (284 x 186mm). 24 hand-coloured lithographic plates by Keulemans, printed by Hanhart. (Some light soiling and staining to upper wrappers of parts I and IV, some light discolouration to a few text leaves.) Modern brown cloth, original buff wrappers bound in.

RARE IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS. Keulemans intended this short-lived work to consist of 20 parts, published monthly, containing 120 plates in total. However, only four parts appeared and no title was issued. The fourth part, present here, is considered to be particularly rare. Mullens and Swann p. 327; Nissen IVB 492. (8)
