What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Leather Binding, Original Binding, Very Scarce
The first edition of this supplementary volume for Thomas Pennant's 'British Zoology'.
Illustrated with one hundred and three monochrome engraved plates. Collated, complete.
A very scarce work.
An additional volume of plates by Thomas Pennant, intended to be a supplementary volume for the first three volumes of his renowned natural history series 'British Zoology'. The work provides a series of new plates with Pennant claiming that are intended to 'supply the deficiency of plates in the three first volumes; and to correct any errors that may have crept into them'. The illustrations are accompanied with brief explanations.
