North American Birdlife); Die Nordamerikansche Vogelwelt (12 color litho plates) by Nehrling, Heinrich - 1891

Milwaukee: George Brumder, 1891. First Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. Chicago Daily News. 12 color lithographic plates from Die Nordamerikansche Vogelwelt (North American Birdlife). The book from which the plates are taken was published in Milwaukee in 1891 and was compiled/edited by ornithologist Heinrich Nehrling. Please note that I do not break good books of this kind when they are complete and in good condition. The plates offered are from a copy falling apart and missing many plates. Size: 11 5/8" x 8 3/4". The following disbound plates are included: I: six birds; II: Mockingbird; III: Catbird; IV: four birds ; V: seven birds; VI: Glue-gray Gnatcatcher; VII: Golden-crowned Kinglet; IX: Canon Wren (my personal favorite - a gorgeous print!); X: Prothonotary Warbler; XI: five birds; XII: six birds; XIII: eight birds. The German names are give for the birds. Included in the set is the title pages and what we presume is the dedication, as well as a leaf containing a poem, "Das Lied der neuen Welt." Very good condition each one with very little or no browning. A nice set suitable for framing.
