KJAERBOLLING, N. SKANDINAVIENS FUGLE, MED SAERLIGHT HENSYN TIL DANMARK 
OG DE NORDLIGE BILANDE. Copenhagen: Forfatterens Forlag, 1875-1877 and 
[1879]. First Edition. Octavo (5" x 7-1/2") text volume and small folio 
(9-1/2" x 15-1/2") plate volume bound in contemporary leather-backed 
boards. Illustrated with 106 hand-colored lithographed plates of birds, 
with several birds to a plate. The plate volume dates to 1879. Included 
is an 1852 First Edition (ANKER 256) of the text volume of 
Kjaerbolling's DANMARKS FUGLE, the original of this work. Rather heavy 
foxing to the text volume, less so to the atlas plate volume which has 
light foxing to most plates, heavy to a handful, and where the text 
block is broken in a couple of places. Overall Very Good.
