The Birds of Great Britain. London: Taylor and Francis for the author, 1862-1873.
'The most sumptuous and costly of British bird books' in the original parts. Gould was especially proud of this work, and it 'was seen - perhaps partly because its subject was British, as the culmination of [his] ... genius' (Isabella Tree, The Ruling Passion of John Gould, London: 1991, p.207). The text is longer than in any of his other works, and the illustrations, many of them prepared from freshly killed specimens, include many more depictions of chicks, nests and eggs. Wolf, who drew 57 of the plates, had accompanied Gould on an ornithological tour of Scandinavia in 1856, and was responsible for persuading Gould and Richter to adopt a livelier treatment of the illustrations. Sauer 23; Zimmer p.261; Fine Bird Books (1990) p.102; Wood p.365; Nissen IVB 372.
5 volumes in the original 25 parts, large folio (562 x 380mm). 366 (only, of 367) fine hand-coloured lithographic plates, most heightened with gum-arabic, by Gould, Henry Constantine Richter, Joseph Wolf and William Hart, printed by Walter or Walter & Cohn, 2 wood-engraved illustrations (lacking the plate Ligurinus Chloris [Greenfinch] in part 15, some scattered spotting, staining to Garrulus Glandarius [Jay] in part 1 and to Syrrhaptes Paradoxus [Pallas’s Sandgrouse] in part 4 as well as to adjacent text leaves, a couple spots of adhesion to a couple of plates, some occasional minor finger-soiling confined to margins, 70mm marginal tear to text leaf of Regulus Ignicapillus [Fire-crested Wren] in part 4 and a few other insignificant short tears, a couple of text leaves and a few corners with minor creasing). Original green cloth-backed printed boards (some spotting and rubbing to covers, parts 20 and 24 more heavily soiled with ?ink stains, backstrips and hinges splitting on a number of parts with parts 2, 5 and 6 with defective backstrips and crude tape repairs, parts 23 and 25 with inner hinges completely split and textblocks loose).
