Morris, Rev. F.O : A History of British Birds

Groombridge & Sons, London, 1851

Royal 8vo.. This appears to be the 1st. edition in 6 volumes, dated from 1851 - 1862. Strangely the preface to Vol.1 is dated September 14th. 1857. This is a lovely set in contemporary half leather bindings and marbled boards with gilt tooled spines in five compartments. The endpapers are marbed with a uniform ownership bookplate on each pastedown. The page edges are marbled to match. The bindings are a little worn but tight and attractive. Internally there is occasional mild spotting but the 358 hand colorued plates are bright and generally very clean. A most appealing set. Please note that as these are heavy volumes, the postage abroad from South Africa will be expensive.. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hard Cover
