Seller's Description:
Very Good jacket. Boston. 2016. September 2016. David Godine. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 9781567925838. Foreword by Sir David Attenborough. 288 pages. hardcover. keywords: Art. DESCRIPTION-Edward Lear, is most commonly remembered as the endearing master of nonsense verse (e.g. the owl and the pussycat who went to sea in a pea-green boat) and his enduring limericks (he virtually invented the form). But the first manifestation of his genius came in the form of his talent for drawing-and especially for creating paintings of animals directly from life. He was, like many of his English contemporaries, precocious, displaying his talent at a shockingly early age and publishing his first book, a monograph on the parrot family, when he was only eighteen. In it, he created what is still acknowledged as one of the premier, early works of lithography (Lear worked directly on the stones) and established a format that would be followed for decades by such publishers as Gould, with whom he worked closely and often anonymously. But the first decade of his artistic life was primarily devoted to creating works of natural history, working with the infrastructure of British scientists, collectors and publishers who made that country the nexus for scientific investigation and information for much of the nineteenth century. Despite his fragile health (he was almost certainly a diabetic and suffered from chronic bronchitis and asthma his entire life), Lear was blessed with a sanguine disposition, a gift for making friends and attracting supporters. And he was incredibly productive, producing an impressive number of drawings for scientific publications, a large number of superb natural history paintings, and countless detailed and delicate drawings for public institutions and private patrons, not just of English species, but of birds and mammals from as far afield as Australia, New Zealand, and the Americas. Robert Peck has masterfully assembled and evaluated this diverse material and written the first book to fully explore Lear's talents as a natural history artist. Augmented by over 200 full-color illustrations, many of them drawn from the extraordinary collection at the Houghton Library at Harvard, extended to include the influence Lear has had on such modern artists and illustrators as Walton Ford and Tony Foster, and enlivened by a Foreword by Sir David Attenborough, this book goes way beyond the scope of the typically dry scholarly investigation. It is a fascinating study of the dawn of natural history's golden age of color, made more so by Lear's humor, travels, friends, and extravagant gifts as an artist. inventory #43110.
