AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A very rare, beautiful, and interesting book... 'Our Native Songsters'... This study on birds was written by the botanical and ornithological author and illustrator, Anne Pratt. The work provides details on a number of bird species, including thrushes, warblers, and swallows, with sections on how birds adapt, their songs, and how they live during the various seasons. In the publisher's original cloth, with stains and wear around edges and corners, shelf wear, floral endpapers... no date of publication but presumably early impression around 1855/1860. Inside, light stains but overall clean. Illustrations are good, with light stains around margins, a few with pen or pencil scribbles on the margins. From the index, lacking three color plates... no signs of pages torn, so I presume they were forgotten by the binder in this new edition.
