Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket. Signed: Signed by Illustrator(s). Edition: 1st Edition. This is number 104 of a deluxe printing limited to 135 copies, of "Bishop's Birds, Etchings of Water-Fowl and Upland Game Birds", signed by the artist, Richard Bishop, and numbered. The cover (9.375" x 12.25"), vellum with gilt bird silhouettes and gilt lettering, is good overall, with a solid attachment to the inside, and no tears.

The body of the book has 73 aquatone etchings, all of which are fine in the live areas, with no stains or fade, but a small number of which have some edge foxing. The last several leaves have a light stain to the page edges. This, as with the foxing, doesn't penetrate to the live areas. Most of these stained edges are to blank final leaves. There are no stamps or other attachments. The binding is solid, with no loose or missing pages. There are no tears or creases.
