[after Thomas Lord.]
[London: Thomas Lord, 1791-6.]
26 etchings with fine hand colour. Plates various sizes, c.300 x 210mm (11¾ x 8¼"), all but one with very good margins. 'Dunlis' trimmed into plate at top, a few plates with a little spotting.
A collection of plates from ''Lord’s entire new system of ornithology; wonderful colour of this very scarce publication. Or oecumenical history, of British birds... The writing corrected, & embellish'd, by the Rev.d Dr. Dupree'', a series of 114 bird prints, which was published by subscription in 38 parts between 1791 until 1796. The plates, after drawings by Lord, showed the birds as close to actual size as possible. Unfortuately the series ground to a halt and few complete examples exist, with most lacking some or all of the last part. This collection includes six hawks, two owls, a woodpecker, magpie, goldfinch and plover.
