Ingram Travers the younger (1820-1866), director of Joseph Travers & Sons, London wholesale grocers (ownership inscriptions); 2) Gladys M. Towsey (gift inscription). Fine Bird Books p. 123; Freeman 2563; Mullens & Swann pp. 401-3; Nissen IVB 627; Wood p. 462 ('this truly magnificent work') 'One of our most valuable illustrated works on ornithology, in fact before the publication of Lord Lilford's Birds of the British Islands it stood sui generis ' (Mullens & Swann). The first edition was published between 1835 and 1841, with 313 plates. According to Mullens and Swann, the second issue (published in 1837-44) 'is identical in appearance but is printed on stouter paper, and has a number of plates containing figures of eggs in the lower corners which are not in the first issue', while the second edition (1838-44) contains 317 plates, many redrawn to face left instead of right. However, the concurrence of the different issues and editions means that plates were often interchanged or duplicated, and Meyer often produced extra plates for friends and associates, meaning that 'hardly any two copies ... [are] alike' (ibid.).
