Lot 3 | Rough notes on the birds observed... in the British Islands, 1881-87, 3 vol., original half morocco
Rough notes on the birds observed during twenty-five years' shooting and collecting in the British Islands. London: R.H. Porter, 1881-1887

FIRST EDITION, 3 volumes, folio (426 x 332mm.), 114 hand-coloured lithographed plates after Edward Neale, 2 coloured maps, contemporary half morocco by R.H. Porter, top edges gilt, some light spotting, extremities slightly rubbed

Edward Booth was a wealthy bird-watcher and sportsman who stuffed his own specimens and mounted them in their natural surroundings in glass cases. It was these specimens, now in the Brighton Museum, which Neale used for his drawings. "These are very handsome folio plates whose composition is similar to those in Dresser's book" (Jackson).
