GOULD, John (1804-1881) and Richard Bowdler SHARPE (1847-1909). The Birds of Asia. London: Taylor and Francis for the Author, 1850-1883. 7 volumes, large 2° (554 x 375mm). 3pp. subscribers' list. 530 FINE HAND-COLOURED LITHOGRAPHIC PLATES, most heightened with gum-arabic, by Gould, Henry Constantine Richter, William Hart and Joseph Wolf printed by Hullmandel & Walton, Walter or Walter & Cohn. (Plate 18 in vol.VII shaved along lower margin with loss to tail of the cock bird, 40 plates noticeably spotted.) Contemporary green half morocco gilt, g.e., by H.H.Porter (extremities scuffed). Provenance : Henry George Charles Viscount Lascelles (armorial bookplate). FIRST EDITION. A FINE SET. As with all Gould's works, this work was originally issued by subscription in parts (35 in this case). The three final parts were completed by Sharpe after Gould's death in 1881. The descriptions by Sharpe are identified by his initials, those not bearing his initials were presumably printed from Gould's notes. Hart completed the lithographs from Gould's sketches. Zimmer pp.258-9; Anker 178; Fine Bird Books p.78; Wood p.365; Nissen IVB 368; Sauer 17. (7)
