Zustand: Very Good. 5 volumes, large folio (531 × 354 mm). Title page, dedication, subscriber list, and plate index; subsequent volumes with individual title pages and plate listings. All 448 lithographs accompanied by text sheets. A very good, complete copy of John Gould's monumental The Birds of Europe, one of the 19th century's most beautiful and influential ornithological works. Published in five volumes, it contains 448 hand-colored lithographs with text, exemplifying peak natural history illustration. Most plates were by Elizabeth Gould from her husband John's designs; 67 were by the young Edward Lear, whose style significantly shaped the work. Some plates feature white highlights or gum arabic to enhance the texture and detail of feathers.Issued in 22 parts between 1832 and 1837, this was Gould's second major work after A Century of Birds from the Himalaya Mountains (18311832), establishing his reputation as a leading British ornithologist and publisher of natural history masterpieces. The plates depict Europe's avian diversityfrom familiar woodland species to rare northern visitorswith scientific precision and artistic elegance. Birds are shown in characteristic poses within naturalistic settings, combining accuracy with aesthetic beauty.Lear's contribution was especially significant. As Isabella Tree notes in The Ruling Passion of John Gould, his input transformed Mrs. Gould's work into dynamic, expressive art, adding a sense of three-dimensionality to the compositions. Under Gould's supervision, production was meticulously executed, and hand-coloring by specialist colorists achieved remarkable brilliance and consistency.Bound in contemporary dark green morocco, richly gilt with decorative borders and raised bands. The bindings are in good condition, showing only slight wear to the edges and corners, as well as some minor wear to the spines and covers. The plates remain exceptionally fresh, with vivid hand coloring and only occasional minor foxing (nine plates slightly affected). An outstanding, bibliophilic copy of this important ornithological masterpiece. This copy was prior owned by the Carnegie Museum of Natural History Library (with bookplate).

No Binding. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Original hand-coloured lithograph from John Gould's monumental large-folio Birds of Europe. London, (1832-1837). A beautiful original nineteenth-century hand-coloured lithograph depicting the White Crane (Grus leucogeranus, Temm.) standing amongst reeds beside a rocky shoreline. Drawn and lithographed by Edward Lear, one of the greatest ornithological artists of the nineteenth century, and still only around twenty years old when Gould first commissioned him for his monumental natural history publications. The composition is distinguished by the extraordinary elegance of the bird's elongated neck and finely observed white plumage, rendered with remarkable subtlety and restraint. Lear's mastery is particularly evident in the delicate tonal modelling of the feathers and the graceful upward sweep of the crane's pose, while the vivid yellow facial markings and red eye provide a striking focal contrast within the otherwise restrained palette. Printed by Hullmandel. Sheet size approximately 53 x 36.5 cm. Condition: Good with original hand-colouring. Old framer's tabs verso. Age toning to the margins which would be covered by a mount along with the filing holes to the left margin.

Vintage borderless reference photograph for the 1968 film, showing director William Friedkin talking with actress Britt Ekland on the set. From the archive of film historian and author Joel Finler. Based on the 1960 novel by Rowland Barber. A mildly exaggerated history of the creation of the striptease, and the downfall of 1920s-era burlesque clubs, in which an Amish girl performing Bible story dances at a burlesque club is being taken advantage of by the club's owner in order to mock public decency-enforcing police officers, and who accidentally invents the striptease when she tears her costume. Shot in 58 days and edited for 9 months, the film's budget exceeded $3 million, making it the most expensive film shot in New York City at the time. Elliot Gould's film debut, and Bert Lahr's last film, as he died during production. Set and shot on location in New York City. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine. Olive Films 915.…

This impressive lithograph from John Gould's work, The Birds of Europe. From the first edition of Gould's first multi-volume ornithological work, The Birds of Europe, and the first of his works to feature plates by Edward Lear: one of the greatest ornithological artists of all time. Lear's contributions included the most eye-catching subjects in the book: eagles, owls, cranes, pelicans, geese, swans, and flamingos. Lear's plates are from bird drawings that 'are certainly among the most remarkable bird drawings ever made, [for] it is evident that Lear endowed them with some measure of his own whimsy and intelligence, his energetic curiosity, his self-conscious clumsiness and his unselfconscious charm' (Hyman). 'Lear's participation transformed the work of Mrs. Gould. [H]e propelled her limited sense of perspective into the third dimension. He encouraged movement, vigor, and a sense of character in her birds; he instilled an idea of composition in which the subject related to its background instead of perching in midair like a cardboard cutout. He introduced a sense of subtlety and freedom into her drawings where previously she had only mimicked the technique used in etching or engraving. There is no doubt that Edward Lear was the first person to understand the art of lithography and to use it to its fullest potential. It was a legacy that made the works of Gould into a success and took them into the forefront of nineteenth-century illustration' (Tree). Original hand-coloured lithograph; print size: 52.5cm x 32.5cm, framed and glazed, overall size: 61 cm x 43 cm.…
