GOULD, John. A Monograph of the Macropodidae or Family of Kangaroos. London: by the author, August 1st 1841-May 1st 1842.
2 original parts (all published), 2° (560 x 380mm.), 30 fine hand-coloured lithographed plates after Gould and H.C. Richter by Richter, printed by C. Hullmandel (some light offsetting and very occasional spotting mainly confined to margins of text). Original cloth-backed printed boards (stained, spines faded, corners rubbed).
No title-page, preliminaries, or index were issued, as a third part was originally intended, but later abandoned for lack of accurate specimens. Fifteen of the plates were reprinted in Gould's Mammals of Australia, two with minor revisions, but the other fifteen kangaroo plates were completely redrawn for the larger work. Nissen ZBI 1662; Sauer 11. (2)
