According to Casey Wood, McGill Library (p. 587): The work was issued in nine parts with 3 plates in each part of parts 1-7 and two in each of parts 8 and 9. Parts 1 and 2 appeared in 1879 and parts 8 and 9 in 1888. The text by J. A. Palmen was issued in parts I-V in German and Swedish, printed in parallel columns. The figures on the plates are in Latin, Swedish and Finnish. Zimmer Ayer Library (p. 611-12) lists this title but states that no text was present in their copy. Anker, Bird Books (p. 201-202) lists the same collation as the Casey Wood collation presented above but states the text must have been interrupted after Part V by Palmen. Anker also notes that this work is "the first chromo-lithographic atlas published in Finland." Without doubt this is a rare volume, especially when bound in a 'fine binding' as seen here. No ownership marks and no signs of use. Very light foxing to the final few color plates; a very clean and bright copy in fine condition.…
