Numbered copy of an edition limited to 5026 volumes; this is one of the Subscribers volumes. Folio; original ochre cloth, lettered in brown on spine, with pictorial onlay to upper cover; matching pictorial slipcase; pp. 311; full-page colour illustrations. Fine condition. "The present volume, The Bird Paintings of C. G. Finch-Da…vies, comprises 100 enlarged reproductions of the artist's finest works (accompanied by his notes), presented in a manner appropriate to their excellence. A detailed biographical study undertaken by Dr. Kemp for this volume has revealed the interesting fact that Claude Gibney Finch-Davies did not visualise himself as a bird artist first and foremost, despite his exceptional productivity in completing on average one painting per week during his many years of military service in southern Africa. He saw the paintings rather as an aid to his serious study of birds, so it is interesting to speculate on the extent of the contribution he might well have made, had his life not ended so prematurely.".
