'This celebrated work was issued in 19 parts, constituting chiefly of a series of beautiful hand-colored plates with explanatory text of birds of many regions by well-known artists, among them Lear, Gould, and the principal text contributors' (Wood). Illustrations of Ornithology was published to complement Selby's Illustrations of British Ornithology (1821-33) and in response to the paucity of works on non-European avifauna. Apart from John Latham's General History of Birds (1821-8), which Jardine and Selby deemed insufficient, there were in 1826 ‘fewer than a dozen titles published in Europe covering birds of Africa, Asia, North and South America, and one for Australia’ (Jackson & Davis, Sir William Jardine: A Life in Natural History , p. 37). To obtain specimens Jardine organised a collecting drive of unprecedented scale, applying to agents in the Cape of Good Hope, Jamaica, Barbados, Madeira, South Carolina, Trinidad, the Gambia and Sierra Leone, Buenos Aires and North America, and soliciting examples from relatives and associates travelling to Australia, India and Africa. The work is rarely encountered complete with the fourth volume of 53 plates, which was published between 1836 and 1843, and is described in the 'Note' to the rear of the third volume as a 'New Series'.

* Poland & Pomerania. Lubben (Eilhard), Nova Illustrissimi Principatus Pomeraniae Descriptio, Amsterdam, 1618 [but 1757], large engraved wall map on twelve conjoined sheets, engraved by Van Gellkerchen, contemporary outline colouring, the margins decorated with forty-six views of cities and towns, each sheet approximately 420 x 540 mm, overall size 1245 x 2160 mm, framed and glazed (Qty: 1)NOTESArguably the rarest and most important map of Pomerania. Created by Professor Eilhard Lubben under the instruction and patronage of Philip II, Duke of Pomerania, this monumental wall map illustrates and maps the country in extraordinary detail. Lubben surveyed the country in 1611 and 1612 and the map was eventually published in 1618. It is decorated with noble arms, a genealogical tree, portraits (including a prominent engraving of Philip II), and 46 town views. A few examples were presented to the Pomeranian court, but the shortage of paper and the thirty years war prevented the printing of additional examples and no extant copies of the 1618 printing are known. Geelkerken's copperplates were rediscovered in the eighteenth century in Stralsund (a town featured in a vignette on the map), and in 1757 the map was reissued, but Scharfe notes that "again only a small number of copies were printed and so this edition is a very rare object today". Lubben's map remained the only piece of significant cartography on Poland until the Prussian surveys of the 18th century and it remains as one of the finest examples of large scale surveying and mapping. Only a handful of copies are known and this particular example is in particularly fine condition.
Poland.
