In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. "2 volumes, folio (20 x 14 in.; 50.8 x 35.5 cm). Title-pages in English and French printed in red and black, double-column text in English and French, dedication leaf in English to the Queen and trilingual index leaf (English, Latin, and French) in vol. 1, dedication leaf in English to… the Princess of Wales in vol. 2, 6-page index to both volumes in English, Latin, and French at the end of vol. 2, 220 etched plates with FINE, SATURATED HANDCOLORING, most with Catesby's monogram (vol. 2 plates 61 and 96 by Georg Ehret after Catesby), handcolored folding map of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands and "An Account of Carolina and the Bahama Islands" bound after the plates in vol. 2, vol. 1 Preface with a band of 16 printer's fleurons, etched headpiece by Catesby, woodcut initials; "DU" corrected by hand on title-pages, first 20 text leaves of vol. 2 with attempted corrections by hand, as usual, light text offset to plates and/or pigment offset to text, light vertical creases in vol. 1 (plates 56-69), scattered foxing, spotting, or mottling affecting about a dozen plates, skillful repairs to short tears on plates 3-4 and to small holes on plates 5-8, and 19-21, short tear in right margin outside plate mark of plate 19 in vol. 2. Contemporary French straight-grained scarlet morocco, covers finely decorated with borders of gilt and blind garland roll-tools, inner border of gilt fillets with cornerpieces comprising small tools of birds fleeing a coiled snake in the grass, blue holland endpapers, spines in 7 compartments with raised bands lettered gilt in the second and fifth edges gilt and elaborately gauffred; expertly rebacked, preserving the original spines, board edges a bit worn. "THE MOST FAMOUS COLORPLATE BOOK OF AMERICAN PLANT AND ANIMAL LIFE AND A FUNDAMENTAL AND ORIGINAL WORK FOR THE STUDY OF AMERICAN SPECIES" (Hunt). The second edition, first edition of the text revised by George Edwards. Trained as a botanist, Catesby travelled to Virginia in 1712, returning to London in 1719 with an extensive collection of plants. This collection drew the attention of Sir Hans Sloane, who helped fund Catesby's second trip to Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and the Bahamas from 1722 to 1729. Catesby's preface details his two journeys to the New World and the development of his natural history, including his decision to etch the plates himself in order to ensure both accuracy and economy. "Instead of perpetuating the previous stiff, profile manner of presentation, Catesby devised the method of mingling plants and animals in logical groupings, most often with accuracy and with proportional scale between figure and plant. He did his utmost to convey something of the particular habits or movements of each species. Simple though they are, he infused his compositions with a sense of movement and vitality not usual prior to his work" (Norelli). The first edition was published in ten parts, with the final part appearing in 1743 and the 20-plate appendix in 1747. Work appears to have begun on the second edition almost immediately-if not simultaneously-with the 1747 appendix. According to Stafleu and Cowan, the second edition was published between 1748 and 1756. Recent discoveries have suggested that there are multiple issues of the second edition, including early issues that may partly be comprised by sheets from the first edition. REFERENCES: E. G.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 3rd Edition. 2 volumes. Folio (22 3/8" x 15 1/4"). Text in English and French. Folding engraved map with original hand-colour. 220 hand-colored engraved plates after Catesby. Modern red calf; modern red cloth cases. Third edition. In 1712, the English-born artist and naturalist Mark Catesby embarke…d on a series of expeditions to the southern colonies of British North America. Catesby was enthralled by the wildlife of the New World, and he spent years traveling by foot through parts of present-day Virginia, Georgia, the Carolinas and the Bahamas. Over the course of his journeys, he encountered and documented uncountable varieties of animal and plant life that were entirely unknown to Europeans. His drawings and written observations were the raw material for an unprecedented project: a scientific account of previously uninvestigated wildlife, with illustrations taken from life. Catesby initially encountered some difficulty in interesting sponsors in his monumental Natural History. Determined nonetheless to persevere in his project, and also wishing to maintain control over the translation of his drawings into print, the artist learned to engrave copper plates and set out to complete the Natural History himself. He produced all but two of the plates, and painted the impressions himself to further insure their fidelity to his models. The result was the most sweeping, complete and unique natural history study ever done. Despite Catesby's initial difficulties in finding subscribers, his striking finished product received widespread acclaim. Cromwell Mortimer, Secretary of the Royal Society, declared the publication to be "the most magnificent work I know since the Art of printing has been discovered." Catesby's charming, distinctive style sets his work apart from all artists who later followed his example. The overt simplicity of his compositions is deceiving; the artist arranged each of his images with great care, often combining seemingly incongruous elements to create the most artful scene possible. A sense of Catesby's enthusiasm for his subjects is palpable in his engravings. Very few artists were so personally involved in the completion of a published work, and Catesby's images convey what the artist must have experienced in America: the colors and varieties of the exotic species of birds, fish, animals, insects and plants of the New World. Widely considered the great achievement of 18th-century art and science, Catesby's Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands has lost none of its power to delight in the 250 years since its publication. This remarkable study of American plants and animals is a monument to Catesby's intelligence, scientific devotion and love of nature. The Natural History has provided an important model for ornithologists and scientists, including John James Audubon, who followed in Catesby's footsteps a century later. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.

Wegen der Darstellung zahlreicher Schreit- und Entenvögel Nordamerikas gesuchter Teilband des Werkes. Die Seligmann'sche Sammlung ist eigentlich eine ins Deutsche übersetzte Zusammenfassung von Teilen zweier Werke, nämlich der "Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahamas" des Mark Catesby und von George Edwards "Gleanings of Natural History". Die Unterschiede zu den Originalwerken bestehen zum einen in den zahlreichen redaktionellen Eingriffen Seligmanns in Text und Bild, letztere vorwiegend in Bezug auf die Illustrationen Edwards, die teils deutlich angereichert sind; zum anderen hebt sich das Seligmannsche Prachtwerk auch in der Qualität des Druckes und des verwendeten Papieres deutlich von den zwei zugrundeliegenden Werken ab. In diesem Band die ungewöhnlich hohe Zahl von 36 Tafeln nach Catesby, dessen Illustrationen ohnehin nur in die ersten vier Bände aufgenommen wurde - alle nachfolgenden Bände enthalten ausschließlich Illustrationen nach Edwards.
