Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: New. Portfolio, 25 by 19 inches, 160 leaves; companion volume, 12 by 9 inches, 436 pages. The types are handset and Monotype Van Dijck and handset Castellar capitals. The paper is Coventry Rag from the Parson Paper Mill, heavy weight for the plates, lightweight for the text. The plates were printed by Phelp…s-Schaefer Lithographics. The text was printed by letterpress. The portfolio box, companion volume, and slipcase are covered with tan Dutch linen cloth with gold-stamped leather labels. Edition of 400 sets. Andrew Jackson Grayson, who came to San Francisco just before the Gold Rush, was inspired to paint by James John Audubon's Birds of America. He vowed to extend Audubon's visual record west, to include the Pacific Slope of California and Mexico. Bequeathed to the University of California in 1879 by Grayson's widow, his paintings became an important holding in The Bancroft Library, but remained largely unknown to the public. Lois Chambers Stone of Berkeley spent several years researching the biography of Grayson that accompanies the portfolio. The publication of this long-overlooked masterwork has now assured Grayson of a significant place in the history of American ornithology. ___POSTAGE: Please note that the portfolio of prints is excessively large and heavy, therefore additional postage may apply; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell. Please contact us with any questions you may have, we are here to help.

Published by the Arion Press in 1986, this remarkable work includes 156 individual bird portraits in color by Andrew Jackson Grayson housed in a massive linen covered box which measures 20 by 26 inches. A separate bound volume, 'Birds of he Pacific Slope: A Biography of the Artist & Nat…uralist 1818-1869,' by Lois Chambers Stone includes species accounts and field notes by Andrew Jackson Grayson with current ornithological identifications to accompany the portraits. The portraits were produced from Graysonâs sole surviving paintings preserved by the Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley. Limited to 425 sets, this is Set Number 125. Andrew Jackson Grayson was a self-taught ornithologist and artist who, inspired by James John Audubon's Birds of America, decided to continue where Audubon left off.

Some are shown with elaborately painted backgrounds; many show their nests, preferred roosts, and diet.
