Folio,[36] pp.,twelve colour plates, fine copy in dustwrapper, scarce in this condition (trhe dustwrapper is prone to substantial tears because of the book's size). Edward Lear was eighteen when he commenced work on Parrots and wherever possible he sketched live birds at Regent's Park Zoological Gardens. He also controlled every aspect of production, including the lithography. Parrots set new standards and established a style and format that others, particularly Gould, would follow. "Lear worked in great detail, outlining every feather and filling in the details with fine lines. This scientific accuracy extended to every part of the bird, from the beak to the claws. He noted on the plate the scale of the bird as shown in relation to its life-size, whenever he had reduced it. Only one bird was figured on each signed and dated plate, more often, only the bird itself was coloured, but occasionally parts of a branch adjacent to the bird figure were also painted. The colouring was done with opaque water-colours with touches of egg-white for parts of the feathers requiring sheen and for the eye to add that 'life-touch'. The foregrounds were sketches of branches, leaves and twigs only, and no background details were added" (Jackson, Bird Illustrators p.35).
