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
