JOHN GOULD (1804-1881)
JOHN GOULD (1804-1881) A Monograph of the Odontophorinae, or Partidges of America. London: Published by the author [1844]-1850. Large 2° (546 x 366mm). 32 hand-coloured lithographic plates by Gould and H.C. Richter, heightened with gum arabic, printed by Hullmandel & Walton. (Some light spotting mainly confined to text leaves, but including the final plate.) Contemporary green morocco, spine richly gilt in compartments and lettered in gilt, boards with wide richly decorated borders stamped in gilt, all edges gilt (boards with a few scuff marks, extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance : armorial bookplate of the Ingram family to the front paste-down. GOULD'S FIRST MONOGRAPH ON GAME BIRDS, issued in three parts, dedicated to his fellow ornithologist Prince Charles Lucien Bonaparte. The thoroughness of his investigations again enabled him to considerably enlarge the recorded species of the American partridge family: 'In the course of my researches I have several times visited most of the public and many of the private collections of Europe, and have besides corresponded to various persons in America: the result is that I have had the pleasure of extending our knowledge of the group from eleven to no less than thirty-five species' (Preface). Nissen IVB , 376; Anker 176; Wood p.365; Zimmer p.257; Sauer 13; Fine Bird Books p.78.
