Bradford, 1824-1825; Illustrated with 76 hand-colored engraved plates by Alexander Lawson, George Murray, John G. Warnicke, and Benjamin Tanner after drawings by Alexander Wilson. "A complete set of one of the most important illustrated works of early American science and art—American Ornithology is the first major natural history publication in the United States and the foundation of American ornithology. Condition worn but sound: scattered browning, foxing, and offsetting throughout; some volumes with marginal chips, tears (some repaired), and occasional trimming to plates. Bound in 19th-century half roan over marbled boards, rubbed and peeling in places, with some hinges repaired and chips to spines. Despite wear consistent with age and use, this remains a complete and compelling example of Wilson's monumental achievement, a landmark in both American printing and natural history illustration."
