Title, dedication, contents, list of plates, 24 HAND-COLOURED LITHOGRAPHIC PLATES by and after Brodrick (Plate VII with slight staining to upper and outer margins, plates XII-XIII (bound as frontispieces) and XXIII-XXIV with one or two light spots.) Later red morocco gilt, spine gilt in six compartments, two with greeen morocco lettering-pieces, elaborate gilt turn-ins, white watered silk liners with gilt borders, t.e.g, by Zaehnsdorf (corners with almost imperceptible rubbing), original green cloth spine and wrappers, with stooping falcon decoration, bound in at back. Provenance: G.V.R. (unidentified red morocco book-label; perhaps G. Rex?); gift to ?Peter (a.l.s. from G. Rex loosely inserted).
FIRST EDITION of "the best English book on falconry and a very attractive publication" (Schwerdt). Twenty-one of the plates illustrate birds used for falconry in England, and, according to the authors' introduction "are in all cases where practicable taken from life, and are in several instances faithful portraits of living trained birds"; the remaining three plates illustrate hoods, jesses, bells and other hawking implements. A second edition of the work was issued in 1873. Zimmer p. 541; Nissen IVB 147; Fine Bird Books p. 103; Schwerdt II, p. 145.
