First Edition
Folio. 80 fine hand-colored lithographic plates, by and after Elizabeth Gould, after sketches by John Gould. Contemporary green morocco gilt, all edges gilt. Provenance: from the library of the Wadsworth Athenaeum, the gift of J. Pierpont Morgan in memory of his father, with an engraved bookplate commemorating the bequest on the front paste-down of each volume. First edition, first issue, with the backgrounds of the plates uncolored. Gould's first major work produced after his acquisition of a collection of bird-skins from the Himalaya Mountains: "the work scored such a great success that Gould continued for the rest of his life to publish large uniform monographs and faunas all on the same lines" (Anker, 168). Gould acknowledges the help of Vigors in confirming the nomenclature of the birds and their descriptions. Initially employed as a taxidermist [he was known as the 'bird-stuffer'] by the Zoological Society, Gould's fascination with birds from the east began in the "late 1820s [when] a collection of birds from the Himalayan mountains arrived at the Society's museum and Gould conceived the idea of publishing a volume of imperial folio sized hand-coloured lithographs of the eighty species, with figures of a hundred birds: "A Century of Birds Hitherto Unfigured from the Himalaya Mountains" , (1830-32), as here. Gould's friend and mentor N. A. Vigors supplied the text. Elizabeth Gould made the drawings and transferred them to the large lithographic stones. Having failed to find a publisher, Gould undertook to publish the work himself; it appeared in twenty monthly parts, four plates to a part, and was completed ahead of schedule. "With this volume Gould initiated a format of publishing that he was to continue for the next fifty years, although for future works he was to write his own text. Eventually fifty imperial folio volumes were published on the birds of the world, except Africa, and on the mammals of Australia-he always had a number of works in progress at the same time. Several smaller volumes, the majority not illustrated, were published, and he also presented more than 300 scientific papers. "His hand-coloured lithographic plates, more than 3300 in total, are called 'Gould plates'. Although he did not paint the final illustrations, this description is largely correct: he was the collector (especially in Australia) or purchaser of the specimens, the taxonomist, the publisher, the agent, and the distributor of the parts or volumes. He never claimed he was the artist for these plates, but repeatedly wrote of the 'rough sketches' he made from which, with reference to the specimens, his artists painted the finished drawings. The design and natural arrangement of the birds on the plates was due to the genius of John Gould, and a Gould plate has a distinctive beauty and quality. His wife was his first artist. She was followed by Edward Lear, Henry Constantine Richter, William Matthew Hart, and Joseph Wolf" (Gordon C. Sauer for DNB). AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE SET. Purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan, one of the most highly discriminating collectors in American history, from Henry Sotheran & Co. on June 15, 1899 (who bought the entire stock of Gould's works and copyrights, and who with the help of Sharpe completed Gould's unfinished works), and subsequently donated it to the Wadsworth Athenaeum in the name of his father. "Fine Bird Books (1990) p. 101; Nissen 374; Sauer 1; Wood p. 364. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First. First edition of Gould's first multi-volume bird book. London: By the author, [1832]-1837. Five volumes. 448 hand-colored lithographed plates (images 447 and 448 are on a single plate) by Edward Lear, John Gould and Elizabeth Gould, printed by C. Hullmandel. Bound by Hering (signed at the upper edge of the front paste-down) in contemporary green morocco with extra gilt borders on the boards. On the spine, five raised bands with a triple gilt fillet. Panels gilt. Title gilt to the second panel, number gilt to the third panel. Triple gilt fillets to the edges of the boards. Gilt inside dentelle. With all edges of the text-block gilt. Spines uniformly sunned. Extremities a little scuffed. End-papers foxed, but internally very good, with occasional offsetting. With the armorial bookplate of Algernon Peckover on the front paste-down of vol. I. Ownership signature (1842) of William Peckover on the verso of the first free end-paper of vol. I. Here is the beginning of the great project by Gould: to present the birds of the world in large-format richly-illustrated multi-volume works. The masterful plates illustrate the text by N.A. Vigors, and in this respect The Birds of Europe stands apart: Gould would provide the text for subsequent endeavors. The challenge of illustrating European birds was to overcome the familiarity of his audience. The result is clear from the subsequent dozens of volumes that would emerge over the following five decades. One of the keys to this success is the involvement of Edward Lear. 68 of the plates were drawn by the poet-artist, and have an almost cartoonish clarity; there is a surety of line that distinguishes his work from other ornithological illustrators' preciousness. Lear's working method differed somewhat from the Goulds' (John Gould was called "bird-stuffer" as his initial role was as taxidermist for the Zoological Society), since he was given to drawing from life. This practice began in his employment by the Earl of Derby drawing the menagerie at Knowsley Hall. To his achievement in gathering the material and superintending the great project we must also add his business acumen: he undertook the subscription, printing and publication of the work - in parts, and, remarkably, ahead of schedule. Unlike so many of the great entrepreneurs of plate-books, Gould managed not only to avoid bankruptcy but also to turn a great profit. William (1790â 1877) and Algernon (1803â 1893) Peckover were sons of the famous Quaker banker Jonathan Peckover of Wisbech in Cambridgeshire. The brothers were founder members of the Wisbech Museum, of which Algernon would go on to be president. Jonathan founded the Wisbech Literary Society in 1871.
