British Birds
[With Their Nests and Eggs. By Arthur G. Butler. Illustrated by F. W. Frohawk. Brumby & Clarke, Limited. Dated 1896 in the introduction. 12 .5 x 10 inches.]
Very good condition complete six volume set. Bound in three quarter leather over pebbled cloth. All bindings are tight and square with clean white pages. Illustrated with many plates, images are the eggs are done in color and the birds are all in black and white. Leather is uniformly faded, and the books have a great shelf presence. Corners are lightly rubbed; leather is complete with a few small chips that can only be seen when looking down at the spine heads. First free end paper has some staining and the second free end paper has a raised blind stamp from the personal library of I David Porras. Overall, set is very nice and will serve as a fantastic investment and reference.
