BRODRICK, William (1814-1888)
Falconers' Favourites. London: Van Voorst, 1865.
A scarce copy of ‘this magnificent atlas of privately-owned falcons’ (Wood), described in the introduction as ‘a sort of sequel’ to Falconry in the British Isles (1855). Three of the birds handsomely depicted in life size belonged to Brodrick himself. Harting 70; Mullens and Swann p.97; Nissen IVB 146; Schwerdt I, 82; Wood p.262.
Large folio (595 x 420mm). 6 hand-finished colour-printed lithographic, finished by hand, paper guards (3 plates with some fading and browning, all plates with foxing to varying degrees). Original green diagonal bead-grained cloth, lettered in gilt on upper cover (rebacked preserving original spine, new endpapers, corners repaired, extremities lightly rubbed).
