Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. 8vo, i-xxix, 465 pp, photographic frontispiece, 8 hand - coloured plates of birds by Joseph Smit, map of the county. Original green grained cloth, top edge gilt, some light wear to the extremities but a good firm copy, internally very clean. It is generally recorded that only 300 copies were printed. Mullens and Swann describe the work as "a county avifauna of considerable extent and completeness", however it was somewhat overshadowed by Ticehurst's major work "A History of the Birds of Kent" published in 1909. It remains one of the most attractive county avifaunas with lovely coloured plates by Smit. Joseph Smit (illustratore).…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition, 8vo. xix + 465 pp., with a photo frontis and 8 hand-coloured lithographic plates and a coloured folding map. Original cloth, gilt. Top edge gilt. Some foxing on the half title and the corresponding leaf at the rear of the book, which leads me to think that this sheet of paper is inferior to that used for the text and plates, as the book is otherwise clean and tidy. A very good copy. The fine plates for this nicely produced book are by the famous bird artist J. Smit and are the last of their kind; a twentieth century survivor of the nineteenth century hand-finished bird book. Scarce work of county avifauna of which only 300 copies were printed.
