Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. FULTON, Robert. The Illustrated Book of Pigeons. With Standards For Judging. London, Paris, New York: Cassell Petter & Galpin [n.d., likely 1874-1881]. (285 x235 mm) pp. viii + 392 pages + 50 full page colour chromolitho plates of the various pigeon breeds. some light foxing. Half calf binding with scuffing to spine and edges. Marbled fore-edges. Some foxing throughout. Bright illustrations. Overall GOOD to VERY GOOD condition. From the bookseller that brought you Gay Neck, the story of a hero pigeon in World War I, we proudly present the late 19th century standards for judging pigeons. Truly a monument and important touchstone for understanding these now under appreciated birds, this book puts the pigeon on the pedestal of birds. It supports the cultivation and pursuit of ideal beauty in its highest form . Beginning with pigeon-fancy i.e. the promotion of pigeon breeding in history and literature, Fulton moves on to describing various breeds of pigeons in depth, accompanied by life-like coloured plates from the paintings of J. W. Ludlow. An absolute gem for the pigeon fancier among all of us. MB401.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Bound in green beveled boards with gilt and black decorations, 392 pp plus 8 pp ads. This copy with a book plate from C Curry Bohm and a gift inscription from Flora S. Richardson, the widow of his friend, William D Richardson. This copy with all 50 color plates and tissue guards present, plus numerous line drawings. Obviously a well loved copy. I left the book marks in place. Edges and gutters have been reinforced with black tape.There is foxing with it being primarily on the borders and backs of the plates. The front end paper and one plate with its tissue guard are detached but present. An interesting association to this famous Brown County, Indiana artist who also worked in Glouster, Massachusetts and Tennessee.
