First Edition. Portrait frontispiece of John Gould from a negative by Messrs Maull & Fox , March 1875 mounted opposite the title page. Original green cloth covered boards lettered in gilt on the spine, cloth a little rubbed and lightly marked in places but a good binding, xlviii + 375pp, bibliography, errata & corrigenda. Folio, 38 x 27cm. Some light scattered foxing to prelims and finals but the text is clean, inner hinges slightly split in a few places yet binding is firm. A very good copy of the first edition. This important index to Gould remarkably records every bird or mammal described in his works, listed by both scientific and popular names. It includes a photographic portrait of Gould as well as an intimate and touching biography which relates the story of how Sharpe and Gould became acquainted while the former was "a boy careering about the neighbourhood of Cookham in search of birds". Sharpe went on to state "No one has excelled Mr. Gould in his appreciation of bird-life. He was in every way a born ornithologist and knew and loved the birds.".

Folio (14 5/8 x 11 in.; 37.2 x 27.9 cm). Half-title, mounted photographic frontispiece portrait of Gould from a negative by Maull & Fox (1875). Contemporary full green morocco richly gilt frame comprised of rolls of Greek keys, acanthus leaves and lotus flowers, the spine gilt in 5 compartments with raised bands (one reserved for lettering), gilt dentelles, yellow-coated endpapers, edges gilt; joint at foot of spine rubbed, IN SUPERB CONDITION, VIRTUALLY WITHOUT WEAR, AND WITH THE GILDING STILL BRILLIANT. FIRST EDITION, COPY NO. 86 OF 100 COPIES ON LARGE PAPER, J.P. MORGAN'S COPY that he donated to the Wadsworth Athenaeum in his father's name. Sharpe's comprehensive work is an indispensible companion volume to the study of Gould, both for the compendious and monumental index which lists every bird or mammal figured by Gould under genera, species, and vernacular names, and for the oft-quoted and much-cited memoir of "the bird man" whom Sharpe first met in 1862. (6.4F.15F) PROVENANCE: Wadsworth Athenaeum (gift of J.P. Morgan, commemorative bookplate on front pastedown).

Hardback, blue buckram. Condition: Bueno. 30.5 x 21.5cm. Hardback, blue buckram. This is a PHOTOCOPY of the plate lists from Sharpe's 'index' of 1893. These list the plates in each volume in the order in which they appeared, by not alphabetically within the volume nor for the complete set as one alphabetical list.This has been augmented here with alphabetical lists English/Latin and Latin/English (or scientific/common names). Thus: 1st. Photocopy of Sharpe's lists by volume. 2nd. alphabetical lists for the whole work English/Latin. 3rd. Latin/English. This means that in Birds of Great Britain, for example, finding 'Kingfisher' would entail trailing through the contents lists of each volume. In this bespoke copy it can readily be found in the English/Latin list, which then gives the volume/plate number and the scientific name 'Alcedo ispida'. The same process may be used for the Latin/English lists,so, 'Corvus corax' gives 'raven', vol. 3, plate 57. The lists are:-1. Century of Birds from the Himalaya Mountains,1831-32. 2. Birds of Europe, 1832-37. 3.Toucans, 1833-35 & Toucans, '52-54. 4. Trogons, 1836-38 & Trogons, '58-75. 5.Australia, 1837-3, Australia, '51-69 & Supplement, '51-69. 6. Asia, 1850-83. 7. Great Britain, 1862-73. 8. Humming Birds, 1849-61 & 80-87. 9. New Guinea, 1875-88. 10. Pittidae, 1880. 11. Birds of Paradise, 1891-98 (not in Sharpe). A unique and useful volume.
