Sold at Christie's, 8 April 2004, lot 599. Nissen ZBI 3187; Wood p.520. An important presentation copy of this rare ichthyological work. Sir Henry Bartle Frere (1815-1884) served as the first Governor of Bombay between 1862 and 1867. In the final paragraph of the preface to the present work the authors note that 'We desire to record our thanks to the Government of Bombay for the liberal measure of assistance it has accorded to this work by taking 100 copies. This has enabled us to illustrate all the most important species, and for that end to secure the valuable services of Mr. [George Henry] Ford, whose ability as a zoological artist is too well known to require notice'. The work is based on the collections formed by Playfair during the 'course of a residence of many years at Aden and Zanzibar, during which he made frequent trips to the African coast and the adjacent islands' (preface). This first edition is scarce, but a limited edition reprint of this work, with an updated introduction, was published in California in 1971.
