About This Item
Salvin's set of working proofs for the expanded edition includes two sets of sheets of the 1855 first edition (from slightly varying settings of type). The first set is heavily revised and emended, with the insertion of nine full sheets of holograph additions in ink, and a multitude of smaller corrections and additions throughout the text. With title, contents, and index; and with corrected long galleys of the glossary. The first sheet is marked in manuscript: "Revise & Proof / returned to Printers Nov 25th 1872." There are several minor corrections in pencil to the second set of sheets.
The stones for the 24 plates to the 1855 edition were destroyed after publication, requiring the complete revision of all images. Present here are an original watercolor by Brodrick of an adult female peregrine and 23 lithographic plates, of which 15 are proofs before letters; eleven are fully or partially hand-colored.
