[Rarebooks] FS: Studer THE BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA, 1878, with lovely chromolithographs

[Charles Agvent]

STUDER, Jacob and JASPER, Theodore. STUDER'S POPULAR ORNITHOLOGY. THE 
BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA: DRAWN AND COLORED FROM LIFE and ORNITHOLOGY; OR, 
THE SCIENCE OF BIRDS. FROM THE TEXT OF DR. BREHM. Columbus, OH: Jacob H. 
Studer & Co., 1878. First Edition. Two folio (11-3/4" x 15") volumes 
bound in publisher's half morocco leather with matching morocco corners. 
The first volume illustrated with 119 lovely chromolithographs drawn and 
colored from nature by Theodore Jasper; the second volume with 37 tinted 
lithographs. One of the best, as well as one of the last, great 
color-illustrated ornithologies. Later editions, especially the 1903 
edition, have noticeably inferior quality plates. Contents fresh, one 
long closed tear to a text page in the second volume. Rubbing with some 
splitting to the leather along the spine edge of the front cover of the 
first volume but covers firm. Some loss of cloth to the second volume. 
Very Good with clean, bright plates. (#019037)    $1,800.00
