London: George Bell and Sons, 1884. First Edition. Hardcover. A few plates with light foxing in the margins and a bent corner here or there, some plates trimmed closer than others, but overall bright and clean and quite scarce in this format. A portfolio containing the title page and 79 lovely color xylographic plates (6-3/4" x 10") with hand-coloring, some heightened with gum arabic, of macaws, cockatoos, lories, parrots, parakeets, and lovebirds. Typically these plates are found in a three-volume set with text and 81 plates published between 1884 and 1887. This portfolio with loose plates and no text is complete with 79 plates as stated on the title page. We could find only a handful of examples of this portfolio in auction records. Intended primarily as a guide for those interested in keeping parrots as pets, the publisher spared neither pains nor expense to make the work as attractive as possible. For the book publication: FINE BIRD BOOKS, page 103; NISSEN 393; ZIMMER, page 274.
