IX - York Town. The first volume does not include the “List of subscribers” (7 p.), which some copies have after the preface (after the preliminary A4 sheet). Good contemporary bindings, full calf bindings painted with mottled patine and smooth neo-classical spines, good decorated, with labels in different colours, conserving the original marbled paper endpapers.

Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Rufous-sided Towhee" Signed middle right. Original Watercolor on Illustration Board.Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for the limited edition collection of The Songbirds of the Fifty States. Each cover was postmarked on the anniversary of statehood in the appropriate state capital. A mysterious rustling draws eyes to a nearby pile of leaves. Perhaps a family of squirrels is playing or a dog is burying a bone. A closer look reveals a surprise. A single bird, the Rufous-sided Towhee, is responsible for all the commotion as he rummages for insects amid the autumn leaves. Then, in a burst of color, he takes to the air, crying his name in loud, clear notes. This handsome bird is well known in the northeastern United States. He arrives there in late April to woo a mate with his drawn out song. Unlike the brightly clothed male bird, the female is a rather drab creature. But, her mottled brown appearance serves her well when predators approach her nest. Because of her dull coloration, an observer can get within a few feet of the nest without spying her or the young she guards. If her nest is in immediate danger, the mother bird may feign a broken wing to divert the predator's attention. In spite of the protection the family provides the nestlings, they soon leave their home to live a life of solitude. Even when winter's first frost nips the air, the Towhees do not form migratory flocks like other birds. Instead, the single sojourners slip away from their home alone, flying by night to a warmer climate. Image Size: 8.5 x 8.75 in. Overall Size: 18 x 18 in. Unframed. (B07424)
