Beschreibung

The 1865 octavo edition in a modern re-bind, half dark leather over burgundy cloth boards, gilt titles bright to spine; all closed page edges showing bright Dutch marbling. Red rubber stamp "City of Prahran / Town Hall / Free Library" is repeated to most preliminary pages, but there are no signs of any typical lending library attachments. Cheer up, Aussies: Maybe if you stand just inside the barbed wire, they'll let you do some bird-watching at your new COVID internment camp. PLEASE NOTE: This edition includes NO illustrations; illustrations more commonly found in Gould's folio editions, generally priced more in the range of a new car. Birds, ornithology. 629 pp. including Index, here reduced from $300. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 009195
