Shaw and Nodders Naturalists Miscellany 1791-1813 Aranea occidua It is an honor to offer a new selection of prints from the most curiously whimsical and humorous collection of prints ever published. Of all of the natural history publications it is one of the most endearing. Dedicated to the Most Illustrious Princess, Charlotte, Queen of Great Britain, it contains works of such beauty and originality that it is beloved by all who see it. The prints are original hand-colored copper plate engravings on strong soft white Whatman paper, with the occasional Whatman watermark or date. The prints are over 200 years old, with the colors of a beauty and vividness unsurpassed to this day in the world of hand colored prints. The Naturalists Miscellany contains 1063 hand colored prints, almost all being natural history subjects. There are only four botanical prints in the entire work, five if you count the turret puff ball. We are exceptionally fortunate to have located these prints as they have become so very scarce, coming onto the market so infrequently of late that it is almost certainly an indicator that there are very few left in private hands. The condition of the prints is excellent on the whole, much better than is usually found in this publication, which was often much thumbed due to its popularity. On a few, the paper may be slightly toned and offset, with a very occasional fox mark. Each print measures approximately 5 1/2 inches by 8 3/4 inches. Please review the photos carefully as they are very accurate. All our prints are antique prints guaranteed to be the stated age. These prints are about 215 years old, and it is now alas a rarity to have such a selection. Please note all our prints are ORIGINAL antique prints with documented provenance. We do NOT sell reproductions of any type. Click here to see all of my eBay auctions For more about Panteek visit our eBay ME page Payment: We accept credit cards and PayPal.

Vintage REMINGTON Framed Western PRINT Framed UACC Registered Dealer #228, Manuscript Society FREDERIC REMINGTON Large Vintage FREDERIC REMINGTON Original Print Framed, Ready to HANG! We are proud to offer this excellent, large, high quality Vintage Print of the famous Remington: &amp;quot;THE COMING AND GOING OF THE PONY EXPRESS&amp;quot; This is being offered by: UACC Registered Dealer #228, JACK M. SELL. Frederic REMINGTON (1861-1909) Lauded as the most important painter documenting life in the vanishing West. His paintings were based on first-hand experiences, and everything that happened on the plains or in the mining camps served as his subject matter. He made numerous trips to the West and became skilled as a cowboy. He also prospected for gold in the Apache country of the Arizona Territory, and in Kansas operated a ranch and worked in a saloon. He spent winters in NYC, writing and painting, and winters in the West, Canada, or Mexico. His first commission was for Harper's Weekly in 1882, when he drew a picture of Geronimo&amp;quot;s campaign. He began creating bronzes of western subjects in 1895, winning immediate attention with his first work, The Bronco Buster.&amp;quot; His bronzes became very popular and were reproduced in multiple series. In his lifetime, Remington produced about 25 bronzes, plus 3,000 paintings and drawings, and eight books. He also traveled to North Africa, Russia, Germany, England, Mexico, and Cuba as an artist-correspondent. One of his last sculptures was the cowboy statue erected in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. From c.1886 he occupied a large studio which he had built at New Rochelle, NY; but about six months before his death he sold it and moved to Ridgefield, CT. Remington died of appendicitis a the age of forty-eight. REMINGTON is, quite simply, one of the most important western artists of the 20th century.

THE HORSES OF THE WORLD When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes. ~William Shakespeare, Henry V This auction is for an original 1923 1ST EDITION! of &amp;quot; THE HORSES OF THE WORLD&amp;quot; by former U.S. Cavalry officer, Major General William Harding Carter through the National Geographic Society. Whether you share a passion for equestrian life or simply enjoy the beauty and amazement of these incredible animals, YOU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK! It expands upon the development of man's other companion in various stages of life: in war, on the farm, in the marts of trade and in the field of sports. There are a total of 95 ILLUSTRATIONS, including 24 pages of wonderful color PAINTINGS by EDWARD HERBERT MINER, who has presented his popular animal artistry illustrated in numerous publications for National Geographic. The many varieties of horses from around the world are vividly and wonderfully pictured, portrayed and described like only National Geographic can accomplish! The horse (Equus ferus caballus) is a hoofed mammal, a subspecies of one of seven extant species of the family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature into the large, single-toed animal of today. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior. Horse breeds are loosely divided into three categories based on general temperament: spirited &amp;quot;hot bloods&amp;quot; with speed and endurance; &amp;quot;cold bloods&amp;quot;, such as draft horses and some ponies, suitable for slow, heavy work; and &amp;quot;warm bloods&amp;quot;, developed from crosses between hot bloods and cold bloods, often focusing on creating breeds for specific riding purposes, particularly in Europe. Around the world, horses play a role within human cultures. Horses were historically used in warfare. A minor section is dedicated to famous horses of great Generals. Towards the mid 20th Century, horses were used for leisure activities, sports, and working purposes. This book discusses with ease how horses and humans interact in many ways, not only in a wide variety of sport competitions and non-competitive recreational pursuits, but also in working activities including agriculture, and our personal enjoyment. Besides the horse, there are seven other species of genus equus in the equidae family. These are the ass or donkey, the Mountain Zebra, Plains Zebra, the Kiang, Grevy's Zebra, and the Kulan, including its subspecies, the Onager. The lovely colored paintings accompany the variety of these beautiful, intelligent creatures! Published in 1923, this book is in GOOD CONDITION for its age, especially to be 86 YEARS OLD! All 118 pages are present and firmly bound. The hinges are firm. The interior is neat with no markings. Enjoyable reading is easily accomplished. The illustrations are lovely -- this is a beautiful edition to add to your existing National Geographic collection series; especially if you share a passion for EQUESTRIANISM, this book is for you! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN! About the contributing author: William Giles Harding Carter (November 19, 1851&amp;acirc;€“May 24, 1925) was a U.S. Cavalry officer who served during the American Civil War, Spanish-American War and World War I. He also took part in the Indian Wars seeing extensive service against the Apache and Comanche in Arizona being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor against the Apache during the Comanche Campaign on August 30, 1881. Largely responsible for the modernization and organization of the United States Army during the early 20th century, he and Secretary of War Elihu Root are credited with the creation of the U.S. Army War College and helped pass the General Staff Act of 1903 through the United States Congress, replacing the office of commanding general with a chief of staff and a more efficient reorganizing of military staff structure. He was also an active supporter of the Militia Act of 1903 which proposed to replace the obsolete state militia system with the National Guard Bureau. A later historian and military biographer, Carter wrote several books as well as a number articles and academic papers for professional and learned journals.&amp;atilde;€€ GOOD LUCK! &amp;atilde;€€ Bidding starts low so BID NOW!!! for a great deal and you might WIN!!!
