Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. Third Edition. Pp. xxxii, 643; numerous colour and b/w plates. Original dust jacket very good, toned to the spine with a little rubbing to edges, not price-clipped, now attractively presented in a loose-fitting clear archival sleeve. Hard-back binding, very…good. Contents clean and tight, bookplate belonging to Eric Hosking tipped onto the front pastedown, no inscriptions. A very good copy in a very good to near fine jacket. Particularly scarce with the jacket. [Eric Hosking OBE, Hon FRPS, FBIPP (1909-1991) was widely acknowledged as one of the world's most eminent natural history photographers, "Perhaps the most famous bird photographer ever to have lived" (Gemma Padley). He was pioneering and developed new techniques, especially the use of flash photography and automatic shutter release technology, which enabled him to photograph birds at night and freeze birds in flight for the first time. Famously, when just 28 he lost an eye to a tawny owl while climbing up to a hide in rural Wales, the event which inspired the ingenious title of his autobiography "An Eye for a Bird", 1970. Over his exceptionally long career he photographed over 1,800 species, and his pictures have appeared in some 1,000 books, including the popular New Naturalist series, of which he was photographic editor. Hosking was not only a photographer of birds but also a highly knowledgeable ornithologist.] Peter Steyn -a lifetime devoted to the study of all things birds, outstanding contribution to ornithological science. Peter Steyn's published books are: Eagle Days (1973); A Guide to the Common Birds of Wankie (later Hwange) National Park (1974), which remained in print for 25 years; his major work, Birds of Prey of Southern Africa (1982), which ran to three impressions and still remains the definitive reference work on these raptors; A Delight of Owls (1984); Hunters of the African Sky (1990); Birds of Southern Africa (1991); his second major - and a lifetime's - work, Nesting Birds (1996); and Antarctic Impressions - Seasons in the Southern Ocean ( 2007).

Añadir al carritohardcover. Condición: Fine. First Edition Limited Edition. Publication: Cape Town, South African Natural History Publication Company, 1976 Formatting: Large folio, pp. [xii], 102 (comprising 51 colour plates and 51 corresponding text leaves). Condition Report: Fine. The binding remains remarkably tight and square, holding the su…bstantial text block securely without any of the sagging typical of large folios. The dark brown gilt-lettered boards present beautifully from the front, though the rear board exhibits superficial scuffing and surface scratches, though minor. The corners retain their shape without significant bumping. Internally, the volume is excellent; the illustrated endpapers featuring a beautifully detailed bird of prey are pristine, and the heavy-stock pages alongside the vibrant lithographic plates remain bright, crisp, and entirely free of foxing, thumbing, or blemishes. A striking and incredibly well-preserved copy. Catalogue Note: Limited first edition, restricted to an exclusive run of just 300 copies, of which this is number 188. It is handsomely signed in ink by both the artist, N. C. Lighton, and the editor, A. V. Bird, upon the limitation page. Furthermore, this specific copy contains an affixed facsimile Certificate of Authenticity, numbered to match the book, proudly displaying the "Best of Show" award granted to this publication by the International Association of Printing House Craftsmen in Montreal in 1978. Conceived to showcase Lightonâs iconic ornithological watercolours in a much grander format than originally seen in Austin Roberts' foundational field guides, this folio edition was a triumph of South African publishing. The large-scale lithographic plates capture the nuance and vibrance of Lighton's original work far better than previous letterpress reductions, establishing this volume as a highly desirable cornerstone for collectors of African natural history and fine ornithological works. Complete, well-preserved copies of the limited edition appear scarcely on the open market. A breathtaking tribute to African ornithology, this monumental folio revitalises Norman Lighton's classic bird portraits originally painted for Austin Roberts' seminal reference texts. Freed from the diminutive constraints of field-guide proportions, these vibrant colour plates explode with detail, offering an intimate and expansive look at the rich avian life of South Africa. Carefully curated and edited by A. V. Bird, this limited edition brilliantly celebrates both the scientific accuracy of Lightonâs brushwork and the sheer beauty of the region's natural heritage. Norman C. K. Lighton (ilustrador).
