Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The first edition, first impression.

Illustrated with maps to the endpapers, a monochrome frontispiece, monochrome vignettes and twenty-three monochrome illustrations over fourteen pages. Collated, complete. 

This ornithological work was written by naturalists Kenneth Williamson and J. Morton Boyd, and provides an account of their summer in St. Kilda, an archipelago containing islands from the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The work contains a study of the behaviour and populations of birds. 

In the publisher's original cloth with the original unclipped dust wrapper.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally lovely with only a slight lean. The wrap is very smart with slight fading to the spine, the odd very small closed tear to the extremities, and minimal loss to the front flyleaf joint with tape repairs to the verso. Internally firmly bound with clean and lightly age toned pages.

Fine
