The colour plates have been highlighted with gum Arabic which really brings th...em to life - excellent!Published by Garnier Freres in Paris around 1850 but no date stated. There are four volumes for sale here, covering the BIRD Kingdom - the set of four volumes covering the Mammals are for sale on Ebay elsewhere.

Quarter bound in thick red leather on marbled hardboards, with five raised bands on the spine, panels inbetween and gilt decoration. Title in gilt lettering. Marbled endpapers. There are library labels for Haileybury College, on the inside front board of each volume - but there are no library marks on any other page or even the plates, which is good news. There is sporadic foxing to the text plates, which is annoying but does not detract from the enjoyment and there is no foxing to the  82 plates.Postage will be by Air Mail outside of UK.  If you buy more than one item then the postage cost falls for the second and further items as I will put them into one parcel - so you save money. We wrap and post the parcels on Monday and Tuesday - therefore if you pay before midday on Tuesday we will get it in the postal sacks on Tuesday night, and if it is after that time then it will go into the postal service on the following Monday.
