COMTE, M. Achille; ADAM, Victor.

The Book of Birds: Edited and abridged from the Text of Buffon, Illustrated By One Hundred and Fifty Designs.

London. R. Tyas, 1841. First Edition.

Tall 8vo..[34], 292pp. Extra-Engraved title and 38 finely hand-coloured plates. In contemporary half crimson morocco, gilt, over marbled boards. Marbled endpapers. Rubbed, with wear to spine, corners and edges. Some marking to boards. Neat previous owner's inscription to fly-leaf, sporadic (mostly marginal) spotting to a handful of plates, but otherwise very clean and tight. A fantastic survey with most plates containing two species, including many rarely illustrated birds, such as the Penguin, Ostrich, Goosander and Swan.
