This is an important and beautifully illustrated work on the Coraciidae, a spritely family of birds known for their vibrant plumage and acrobatic aerial displays.

Excellent 20th century green half morocco, marbled paper sides, spine with gilt titling, all edges gilt. Robert D. Hume, "The Development of English Drama in the Late Seventeenth Century"; Pforzheimer 776; Wing O-548; ESTC R20912. ◆Three artfully repaired tears (two of them into text, but without loss), otherwise A FINE COPY, unusually fresh and clean, in an unworn binding with lustrous leather. This is a surprisingly well-preserved copy of an important play by a woefully undervalued English dramatist. At a time when the legacy of the Restoration stage is frequently thought to begin and end with Etherege, Wycherley, and Congreve, a number of dramatists of considerable merit are overlooked. Thomas Otway (1652-85) is perhaps the most talented of that group. Britannica describes him as "one of the forerunners of sentimental drama through his… Read More

Engraved allegorical title page to volume I, printer's device on title pages of volumes II and II.
