Library stamps and markings throughout book, including to some plates- this book has passed through at least three libraries over the past 170+ years. A scarce and very seminal work (historically notable because it was the first time hand-colored lithographs were used to illustrate a state bird book), this is one of only 300 colored copies produced. Complete copies are becoming more scarce as the books are broken up for the individual plates. 380 pages plus 141 full page hand colored plates. The artist of the plates was J. W. (John William) Hill and the lithographers were George Endicott; and Packard, Gavit & Co.
