Monograph on grouseDaniel Giraud Elliot, 1864-1865ELLIOT, Daniel Giraud (1835-1915). Monograph of the Tetraoninae. New York: published by the author, [1864]-1865. First edition, in original parts. Parts 1 and 2 first appeared in 1864, and parts 3-5 (4/5 being a double number) appeared in 1864. "Particularly attractive," according to Bennett. It is the second of Elliot's works and one one of only three of his ambitious color-plate bird books to be wholly produced in the United States. Anker 128; Bennett, p. 39; Fine Bird Books, p. 95; Nissen IVB 293.Five parts bound in four volumes, folio (597 x 466mm). Instruction to binders slip bound in before part 1. Subscribers’ list and other preliminary text bound before part 1 (usually before part 4). 27 hand-colored lithographic plates by Bowen & Co. of Philadelphia after drawings by D.G. Elliot; a single bird plate after J. Wolf, and the two plates depicting eggs after William S. Morgan (very occasional dust-soiling or very pale water-spots, first and last plates in vol. 4 cracking at gutter margins). Original green pictorial lithographed boards (sympathetically rebacked, edges and corners showing, some minor wear/staining, mostly to part 3). Custom solander box, morocco spine label.
