Comprised of: 1) a disbound set of the first edition sheets which have been heavily-corrected throughout in manuscript by Salvin, with 9 additional pages of manuscript tipped in (i.e., 1-94, 101-105, 111-147 [without the title, table of contents and a portion of Chapter 8 lacking]), with a manuscript note in the upper margin of the first page: "Revise & Proof returned to Printers Nov. 25th 1872"; 2) a complete unbound set of proof sheets, being reset intermediate(?) sheets between the first and second editions, with a few minor manuscript pencil corrections, and with lithographed proofs of plates I-III and V-XXIV (12 hand colored presumably by Brodrick), and with plate IV from the first edition (Female Peregrine Adult) present an an original watercolor by Brodrick; 3) 3 sets of tall galleys of the 2-page Glossary of Terms from the first edition, each with manuscript corrections by Salvin for the second edition; and 4) folded 8vo sheet with three original watercolors attributed to Salvin of an Elizabethan lady's hawking purse (depicted from both sides) in green velvet with gold embroidery, as well as a wooden case covered in green silk to hold it. 4to. Falconry in the British Isles by Francis Henry Salvin (1817-1904), with plates by William Brodrick (1814-1888), is the most important work on the subject produced during the nineteenth century, and an essential standard work. The first edition was published in 1855, and a new edition in 1873. Harting states that this "second edition is to be preferred for the emendations and additions to the text" and describes it as the "best modern book in English on the art and practice of Falconry." Salvin's set of working proofs for the expanded edition includes two sets of sheets of the 1855 first edition (from slightly varying settings of type). The first set is heavily revised and emended, with the insertion of nine full sheets of holograph additions in ink, and a multitude of smaller corrections and additions throughout the text. With title, contents, and index; and with corrected long galleys of the glossary. The first sheet is marked in manuscript: "Revise & Proof / returned to Printers Nov 25th 1872." There are several minor corrections in pencil to the second set of sheets. The stones for the 24 plates to the 1855 edition were destroyed after publication, requiring the complete revision of all images. Present here are an original watercolor by Brodrick of an adult female peregrine and 23 lithographic plates, of which 15 are proofs before letters; eleven are fully or partially hand-colored.

Second edition, revised and enlarged: the best edition of this handsome work. The present copy, with an impeccable provenance, is enriched by the inclusion of 3 fine original watercolours by the eminent William Brodrick (1814-88), falconer, taxidermist, physician and artist, whose works of avian portraiture set the standard of his times.The first edition was published in 1855. The author, Francis Henry Salvin (1817-1904), was not satisfied with the first edition, so he made improvements and important additions. The resulting second edition must be preferred to the first, and Salvin wanted to leave no doubt that it would be the best modern book on falconry even written in England. It indeed remains even today an essential standard work. To illustrate the second edition new lithographs had to be made from scratch, because the stones that were used to illustrate the first edition were destroyed. The ornithological artist William Brodrick took up the task once more and apparently made some drawings for it that did not make the edition, but his original watercolour drawings are included in the present copy. These are, according to inscriptions by Brodrick himself: a saker (barred variety, 2 year old female); a 5 year old Dutchess falcon belonging to J. Pells; Comet, a 4 year old tierce.With an inscription in ink on the front free endpaper: "Wm. Brodrick, Little Hill, 1873" and a partially erased pencil inscription on the title-page. Occasional spotting, heavier in the endpapers and half-title, but still in very good condition. Spine faded to brown, corners worn, rubbed.l Harting 67; Nissen IVB 147; Schwerdt II, 145. Contemporary half green morocco, gold-tooled spine. With 3 additional original watercolours by the illustrator, William Brodrick, highlighted with gum arabic. And with 28 hand-coloured lithographed plates after William Brodrick, some highlighted with gum arabic. Pages: [10], 171, [1] pp.

First edition of Francis Salvin's first work, with attractive illustrations by the falconer William Brodrick, himself the owner of a remarkable collection of working birds. Salvin's (1817-1904) lifetime of devotion to the sport lead his fellow falconer C. H. Fisher to call him "the father of the craft in England" (p. 178). "Salvin's early love of hawking was stimulated by an acquaintance with John Tong, a one-time assistant falconer to Colonel Thomas Thornton. In the manner of Thornton, he made a highly successful hawking tour of northern England in 1843 with John Pells (then in the pension of the hereditary grand falconer of England)" (ODNB). When serving with his regiment in Ireland in 1855, Salvin flew peregrine falcons at rooks and tiercels at magpies. William Brodrick (1814-1888) owned "most, if not all, of the hawks and falcons usually employed in modern falconry. Under his care, examples of the Greenland, Iceland, and Norwegian gerfalcons, sakers, and lanners lived for years, a source of admiration to all who saw them" (Fisher). The stones for Brodrick's plates were destroyed after publication, so they had to be redrawn for the second edition (1873). The plates in the first edition are celebrated as "much superior" (Harting). Harting 67; Nissen, IVB 147; Schwerdt II, p. 145; Souhart 419; Wood, p. 541; not in Thiebaud. C. H. Fisher, Reminiscences of a Falconer, 1901. Quarto. With 2 hand-coloured and tissue-guarded lithograph frontispieces heightened with gum arabic, 22 similar plates, all by Brodrick and printed by Ford & West; 4 pp. of publisher's advertisements at end. Original green cloth, neatly rebacked with original spine laid down, spine and front cover lettered in gilt, vignette of stooping Barbary Falcon in gilt on front cover, similar vignette and title in blind on rear board, light yellow coated endpapers, edges untrimmed. Recent pencilled initials on front free endpaper recto. Cloth sunned, gilt vignette bright, wear to tips, text and plates lightly foxed: a very good copy.

First edition, presentation copy, inscribed on the front free endpaper: "To John Hancock. Presented by the Authors". Hancock owned the Saker and Norwegian falcons depicted in this striking work, which is considered "the best English book on falconry, and a very attractive publication" (Schwerdt). "Salvin's early love of hawking was stimulated by an acquaintance with John Tong, a one-time assistant falconer to Colonel Thomas Thornton. In the manner of Thornton, he made a highly successful hawking tour of northern England in 1843 with John Pells (then in the pension of the hereditary grand falconer of England)" (ODNB). When serving with his regiment in Ireland in 1855, Salvin used to fly peregrine falcons at rooks and tiercels at magpies. His lifetime of devotion to the sport led his fellow falconer C. H. Fisher to call him "the father of the craft in England". This is Salvin's first book, written in collaboration with William Brodrick (1814-1888), who himself had a remarkable collection of working birds. Brodrick had "most, if not all, of the hawks and falcons usually employed in modern falconry. Under his care, examples of the Greenland, Iceland, and Norwegian gerfalcons, sakers, and lanners lived for years, a source of admiration to all who saw them" (Fisher). Brodrick's most significant contribution to the book was the "capital illustrations, all drawn by him from the life. The figures of hawks are in their way inimitable, and bear comparison with the best work of his friend and only rival in the same line, the accomplished animal painter Joseph Wolf". The stones for the plates were destroyed after publication, so they had to be redrawn for the second edition (1873). The plates in the first edition are celebrated as "much superior" (Harting). Provenance: the recipient was the British taxidermist and ornithologist John Hancock (1808-1890). He is mentioned numerous times in this work, twice attributed as supplying falcons as models. The Zoologist described him as a friend of Brodrick and noted that, "there is but one man in England, Mr Hancock, who can stuff a hawk properly" (p. 76). One of Hancock's most famous taxidermy pieces is "Struggle with the quarry", an extraordinary tablaeu of a falcon attacking a heron (now on show at the Hancock Museum), exhibited at the Great Exhibition in 1851. Hancock was one of the original members of the Tyneside Naturalists' Field Club, founded in 1846, and vice-president of the Natural History Society of Northumberland. This handsome book also has the Bewick bookplate of Dr John Cresswell of Rothbury House, Heaton, near Newcastle, a keen collector of the artist.
