Duck Hawk - 1893 Bird Lithograph from The Hawks & Owls of United States

Description: Plate 15: Duck Hawk A very attractive and somewhat scarce chromolithographed plate by J. L. Ridgway and R. Ridgway from The Hawks and Owls of the United States in Their Relation to Agriculture (U.S. Department of Agriculture Division of Ornithology and Mammalogy Bulletin No. 3) by A. K. Fisher and C. Hart Merriam. The Secretary of Agriculture, Government Printing Office, Washington, 1893. These were taken from a disintegrating book in order to preserve the plates (I discourage taking books apart for the illustrations unless there is no way to salvage the book - that is the case here as the binding was broken and some plates are already missing). For anyone interested, the book is available digitally via the internet archive. Page size is slightly smaller than 5.75 by 8.875 inches (14.5 x 22.5 cm). Plate will come with its original tissue guard, which may be detached or attached depending on the plate. The colors are very nice, and despite the flaws they remain very attractive. The plates are all rough where they were bound into the book. Please see the images. Condition: Generally the condition of the plates varies as there was some water damage to the book. For the most part the water damage was limited to the lower edge and did not impact the bird images themselves. Specific impact of water damage will be described below and will be very evident in the images. Not all plates were equally affected. Please examine them closely. This plate's condition is: Fair. Overall there is some edgewear to the paper. The lower paper edge has some water staining which encroaches on the title. Right edge with a faint water stain. For all auctions, please consider the images to be part of the description. When a flaw is described I try to show images of it as well, but the general condition is reflected by the images. I will combine shipping for these. Please wait for or request a revised invoice if you purchase more than one item. Payment is required within 2 days (48 hours) of auction ending, unless other arrangements have been agreed upon. Non paying bidders will be reported and items may be relisted after this time. Returns accepted within 30 days at buyer's expense. Refund will not include shipping. If an item sold with free shipping, a reasonable amount will be deducted from shipping to compensate for actual outbound cost. (Above does not apply if an item had undisclosed flaws due to seller error, or if it was damaged during shipping, in which case a full refund of all costs will be given. If shipping damage or loss occurs buyer may be requested to assist with information for claims with shipping company.)
