Gould, John

Icones Avium, or figures and descriptions of new and interesting species of birds

John Gould, London, 1837

Large folio (22 by 15 inches) 1837-38, illustrated with 18 hand-coloured lithograph plates of birds by John and Elizabeth Gould.

Original printed card covers (but lacking cover to part two) some light wear to covers, folding plate skilfully restored at outer edges.

This rare work was intended as a supplement to Gould's earlier works but only two parts were issued. A very clean set.
