The Great Fall - Niagara" is an important, original engraved example of the large Victorian landscape engraving by the Scottish artist, William Forrest.When the major New York publisher, Knoedler & Company acquired the engraving rights to The Great Fall, Niagara, he turned to the Scottish engraver, William Forrest. From 1845, Forrest worked in both London and Edinburgh and had created a strong reputation for both his landscape and genre engravings. The Great Fall, Niagara was William Forrest's largest and most important work of original engraved art.Frederic Church's, The Great Fall, Niagara, may possibly be the most famous painting in the history of nineteenth century American art. Originally, this painting of Niagara Falls was purchased by John Taylor Johnstone, it was sold in 1876 to the Corcoran Gallery in Washington for the price of 5,000 Pounds. For many years thereafter this was a record price paid for an American painting.Frederic Edwin Church was an American nineteenth century landscape painting reached its finest expression under the movement known as the Hudson River School. Among its many great painters the names of Bierstadt, Asher Brown Durand, Thomas Cole and Frederick Church assume the highest position. Frederick Edwin Church studied under Thomas Cole in Catskill, New York (1844-46). In 1845, he exhibited his first paintings with the National Academy of Design and opened his studio in New York two years later. Frederick Church became a full member of the prestigious National Academy in 1849.Frederic Edwin Church's large and monumental landscape paintings always created the greatest admiration at national expositions. In 1853 and 1857 he traveled in South America and created one of his finest canvases, The Heart of the Andes, which was exhibited in 1859. He then visited Labrador, and his painting, Icebergs, was exhibited in both New York and London in 1863. Three years later, Frederic Edwin Church went to the West Indies and in 1868 made his first trip through Europe, including important visits to Greece and Palestine. As one writer at the time enthusiastically noted, "this is Niagara, with the roar left out!" Niagara's tremendous success secured Church's reputation as the most famous painter in America and brought him international recognition.

        Pitta Novae-Guineae (New Guinea Pitta)

      London 1875 - John Gould (1804-1881) was an English ornithologist, self-taught artist and naturalist. Gould first worked as a gardener under his father in the Royal Gardens of Windsor, from 1818-1824, where he began his illustrations. He became and expert taxidermist, opening his own practice in London in 1824 and in 1827 he became the first Curator and Preserver at the museum of the Zoological Society of London. Through his work he was able to meet with the country&#146;s leading naturalists and view new collections of birds given to the Zoological Society. His interest in birds was continually developing and in 1830 he published his first volume on birds, &#147;A Century of Birds From the Himalaya Mountains.&#148; For the next fifty years, Gould, his wife and artists working with them traveled around Asia, the East Indies and Australia. While in Papua New Guinea, he decided to embark on a final folio as a complement to his unprecedented &#147;Birds of Asia&#148;. &#147;The Birds of New Guinea&#148; was Gould's last full-scale work, left incomplete on his death in 1881. Gould completed twelve of the twenty-five parts, and the task of finishing the project fell to Richard Bowdler Sharpe, a superbly qualified successor, who had been Gould's colleague, assistant and friend. One of Gould's most exotic works, the five magnificent volumes of the Birds of New Guinea contain an extensive series of beautiful images of birds of paradise, bower birds, parrots, parakeets, cockatoos, kingfishers and hawk-owls. All of the 320 images are extraordinary for their color and artistry, interesting backdrops and animated compositions. Gould and Sharpe created some of their most engaging and active scenes of bird life in the &#147;The Birds of New Guinea&#148;, and the great popular reception of the work was such that it was one of their only productions that led to a sequel, Sharp's &#147;Birds of Paradise&#148; (1891-98). Missing from that later production, however, was the almost overwhelming variety of species of the &#147;The Birds of New Guinea&#148;, which, like the &#147;Birds of Asia&#148;, was the most comprehensive chronicle of the island's ornithology ever issued. This folio size, hand-colored lithograph, Pitta Novae-Guineae, measures 21.5" x 14.75" and is in excellent condition. These birds, commonly called New Guinea Pitta, are expertly hand-colored in vibrant shades of green, blue, white and red with black heads and yellow collars. The New Guinea Pitta in this lithograph are shown in a rocky habitat, one picking at a shell with its beak. The precise lines detail and define their feathers and plumage and give them dimension.

        The Narcissus: Its History and Culture

      London: L. Reeve & Co., , 1875. First edition. Original Cloth. Very Good. 8vo (24.5 x 16.5 cm) Original cloth boards with gilt title and author on spine and Narcissus on cover, spine slightly sunned. Marble end papers. Collation: [ix]-xvi [1]-95pp + 48 hand-colored, lithographic plates. Excellent study on the genus Narcissus with beautifully executed lithographic plates by Burbidge with contemporary hand coloring. This is a very good copy in original cloth. &#147;Burbidge, Frederick William Thomas (1847&#150;1905), horticultural writer and explorer, was born at Wymeswold, Leicestershire, on 21 March 1847, the son of Thomas Burbidge, farmer and fruit grower, and his wife, Mary Spencer. He was educated at village schools and entered the gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society at Cheswick as a student in 1868, proceeding in the same year to the Royal Gardens, Kew. Here he showed skill as a draughtsman and was partly employed in making drawings of plants in the herbarium. Leaving Kew in 1870 he joined the staff of Garden magazine where he stayed until 1877, writing under the pseudonym Veronica. He also wrote for The Floral Magazine. During this period he published a number of works including Cool Orchids and How to Grow Them (1874), [Narcissus: Its History and Culture(1875)]and Cultivated Plants, their Propagation and Improvement (1877). These works drew much appreciation from contemporaries including Gladstone. Many of the plates included were drawn by Burbidge himself.&#11;In 1877 he was sent by the nursery firm James Veitch & Sons as a collector to Borneo. He was absent for two years, during which time he also visited Johore, Brunei, and the Sulu Islands. He brought back many remarkable plants, especially: pitcher plants, such as Nepenthes rajah and N. bicalcarata; orchids, such as Cypripedium laurenceanum, Dendrobium burbidgei, andAërides burbidgei; and ferns, such as Alsophila burbidgei and Polypodium burbidgei. The chronicle of his journey was published in 1880 as The Gardens of the Sun, or, A Naturalist&#39;s Journal on the Mountains and in the Forests and Swamps of Borneo and the Sulu Archipelago. The first set of the dried specimens brought back by him numbered nearly a thousand species, and was presented by Veitch to the Kew herbarium. Sir Joseph Hooker named the scitamineous Burbidgea nitida &#145;in recognition of Burbidge&#39;s eminent services to horticulture, whether as a collector in Borneo, or as author of Cultivated Plants, their Propagation and Improvement, a work which should be in every gardener&#39;s library&#146; (Botanical Magazine, 1879, tab 6403). Though of only moderate ability as a cultivator, Burbidge was noted for his horticultural writings and expert draughtsmanship.&#148; ( G. S. Boulger, rev. Alexander Goldbloom- ODNB)&#11;

Gould first worked as a gardener under his father in the Royal Gardens of Windsor, from 1818-1824, where he began his illustrations. He became and expert taxidermist, opening his own practice in London in 1824 and in 1827 he became the first Curator and Preserver at the museum of the Zoological Society of London. Through his work he was about to meet with the country&#146;s leading naturalists and view new collections of birds given to the Zoological Society. His interest in birds was continually developing and in 1830 he published his first volume on birds, &#147;A Century of Birds From the Himalaya Mountains.&#148; For the next fifty years, Gould, his wife and artists working with them traveled around Asia, the East Indies and Australia. While is Papua New Guinea, he decided to embark on a final folio as a complement to his unprecedented Birds of Asia. The Birds of New Guinea was Gould's last full-scale work, left incomplete on his death in 1881. Gould completed twelve of the twenty-five parts, and the task of finishing the project fell to Richard Bowdler Sharpe, a superbly qualified successor, who had been Gould's colleague, assistant and friend. One of Gould's most exotic works, the five magnificent volumes of the Birds of New Guinea contain an extensive series of beautiful images of birds of paradise, bower birds, parrots, parakeets, cockatoos, kingfishers and hawk-owls. All of the 320 images are extraordinary for their color and artistry, interesting backdrops and animated compositions. Gould and Sharpe created some of their most engaging and active scenes of bird life in the Birds of New Guinea, and the great popular reception of the work was such that it was one of their only productions that led to a sequel, Sharp's Birds of Paradise (1891-98). Missing from that later production, however, was the almost overwhelming variety of species of the Birds of New Guinea, which, like the Birds of Asia, was the most comprehensive chronicle of the island's ornithology ever issued. This folio size, hand-colored lithograph, Criniger Chloris, measures 21.5" x 14.75" and is in mint condition. Illustrated are two birds, commonly called Moluccan bulbul's, perched on a high branch. The birds are expertly hand-colored in brilliant shades of yellow. The lithograph is extremely well detailed as each feather and characteristic of these birds well defined and shaded, diving the birds dimension. They are set among an abstract background with colors of the setting sun.

Spine tips worn with loss, extremities worn, otherwise a very good copy, small bookplate and inked stamp on front pastedown, occasional corner creases. 8vo. Illus. with 51 folding maps and plans, one of which is in color, 8 plates, and in-text illustrations. Author's copy. The expanded second edition (chapters IX to XV inclusive, of Professor Comstock's Geological Report were prepared after the Congressional Document [H.R. Ex.Doc. No. 285, 43d Cong.,1st sess.] had gone through the press, and consequently do not appear in that edition of the report). By far the largest contribution is by Theodore B. Comstock (1849-1915) who went on to be the first president of the University of Arizona. This document reports Jones' discovery of Togwotee Pass, the southern route out of the Yellowstone Basin which previous explorers had failed to find. See Wheat pp. 298-9. Provenance: Kenneth E.
