First edition; 4to; liv, 193 pp; 61 fine hand-coloured lithographic plates after and by Keulemans, 4 lithographed maps partially printed in colour, 19 text figures; original brown gilt, light wear and fading, a very good clean copy. Mivart's Lories is perhaps the greatest and most desirable monograph on the nectar feeding parrots ever published. Mivart (1827-1900), is probably best known for his vehement opposition to the ideas of Darwin, having originally been one of his most ardent supporters. He was attracted to these parrots by their suitability for domestication as well as by their colouring; his monograph depicted and described 16 species for the first time. The work is distinguished by the fine illustrations of George Keulemans, the leading bird illustrator of his day. The provenance of the present copy includes Jan Coldewey, auythor (with Keulemans' son, Tony), of Feathers to Brush, the only significant biography of the artist.

Modern red half morocco, gilt, top edges gilt. Provenance: with Wheldon and Wesley, 1977, $1,647. "A VERY ATTRACTIVE GROUP OF RATHER SMALL BIRDS" (Mivart) First edition, and an attractive copy. The maps show the distribution of the family across Australia, New Guinea and the South Pacific Islands, and provide a detail of the islands between Celebes and New Guinea. The plates are described by Sitwell as Keuleman's 'best work', and represent 16 species for the first time. In his introduction the author explains his interest in the family Loriidae 'a very attractive group of rather small birds' varying in dimension 'from the size of a Turtle-Dove to about that of a Sparrow', and consisting 'of 75 more or less distinct species. The family is remarkable for its brilliancy and gay coloration', and its friendliness: 'Some of them . will spontaneously approach human dwellings, and most of them make excellent pets.' Keulemans began his career as a taxidermist providing stuffed birds to the State Museum of Natural History at Leiden. The director of that museum encouraged Keulemans to pursue his love of natural history, where he obtained a scientific appointment after an expedition to West Africa in 1865 and 1866. His accomplishments in illustration came to the notice of Richard Bowdler Sharpe, later a director of the British Museum, who encouraged him to move to England. Keulemans quickly achieved wide recognition and established himself as the most popular bird artist of the late Victorian period. He regularly provided illustrations for "The Ibis" and "The Proceedings of the Zoological Society". He illustrated many important bird books including Buller's "A History of the Birds of New Zealand" (1873), Shelley's "Monograph of the Sun-Birds" (1876-1880), William Vincent Legge's "Birds of Ceylon" (1880), Daniel Giraud Elliot's "Monograph of the Hornbills" (1887-1892), Richard Bowdler Sharpe's "Monograph on Kingfishers" (1868-1871), Henry Seebohm's "Monograph on Thrushes" (1902), and Osbert Salvin's "Biologia Centrali-Americana" (1879-1904).
