Period hand-colored copper engraving from the [Natural History of the Birds Treated Systematically and Adorned with Copperplate Engraving Illustrations, in Miniature and Life-Size], 1766-1777. The work carries some interesting historical importance according to Peter Dance: "The production of its five massive folio volumes must have been one of the most remarkable publishing ventures ever undertaken in Florence. Begun in 1767, and [based on birds taken from the collection of Giovanni Gerini], it was completed ten years later. It was larger, better engraved and more vividly coloured than any previous work on birds, but these are not its only claim to fame. The attitudes of the birds themselves give this book its unique character.

Description:
London: John Gould, 1840. Print. Very good condition. The noisy scrub bird doesn't look like much, but we would consider it as one of the triumvirate of Western Australian animals, along with the Black Swan and the Numbat. It is elusive and only found in areas of dense scrub and overgrown swamps near Albany, Western Australia and has come back from the brink of extinction. It is one of only two members of an ancient Australian bird family, the other being the Rufous Scrub Bird (Atrichornis Rufesens) which lives in the rain forests of northern NSW & southern Queensland. (Dept. of Conservation & Land Management, W.A.). John Gould, the author and force behind "The Birds of Australia," is considered the father of Australian ornithology. His wife Elizabeth was also the artist on many of the prints. The prints are lithographs with original period hand color. This is plate number 174 from the most comprehensive ornithological work on Australia ever completed published. Print measures 14 1/2 x 21 1/2". A…

Description:
Melbourne: Herschells Pty Ltd, 1932. The film is another matter - how incredible that you have this important piece of Australian film/sound history with you in the U.S. The first sound recording of Lyrebirds was done on the optical soundtrack of film in 1931 and subsequent films were shot and compiled later, although there are some significant gaps / missing films in this archival history, which is what really interests me here. In terms of identifying what it is, It looks like it's 35mm at 658ft, which would give it a running time of between 6-12 mins. Are there any further dates / names on it or associated materials? Has it been preserved well to archival standards, to your knowledge? I certainly agree it would be of cultural importance to get this item over here and to identify its provenance fully. It would also be really useful for my project. I would be very interested in acquiring it (although to get a grant for the purchase of it would be ideal, which would not be an immediate outcome…
