Item Details

Description

Heading:
Author: Cassin, John
Title: Illustrations of the Birds of California, Texas, Oregon, British and Russian America
Place Published: Austin
Publisher:Published for The Summerlee Foundation of Dallas by the Texas State Historical Association
Date Published: 1991
Description: 42, viii, 298. Introduction by Robert McCracken Peck. Facsimile of the 1856 first edition which included 50 hand-colored lithographed plates by William E. Hitchcock, printed and colored by J.T. Bowen and primarily after drawings by George I. White. (Large 8vo) half leather and marbled boards, spine lettered in gilt, marbled slipcase.Fine facsimile of the first edition. John Cassin (1813-1869), a member of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, undertook this work as a general revision of ornithology of the United States following Audubon. Fifty species are beautifully illustrated, with color backgrounds, and several more are described in each synopsis. Three species are described as new (Ayer). Cassin‘s work is ”clearly following the Audubon format and also using J.T. Bowen as a lithographer” (Reese).
