This is a rare find...
W. Hagelberg's Manual of Zoology, Embracing Faithful Illustrations of the Animal World in Its Most Prominent Types was a multi-part, illustrated publication created by German publisher Wolff Hagelberg in the late 19th century. Wolff Hagelberg was a German fine art publisher with offices in Berlin, London, and New York. The company was active between the 1860s and 1890s and known for high-quality printing.
This unique little hard cover book has 44 pages of miniature hand placed colour plates of hundreds of the world's bird species including our own Southern Brown Kiwi - strangely identified here as "The Kivi-kivi, Apteryx Australis"
The book remains in G+ condition, with scuffing and edge wear to covers, spine re-taped, tape repairs inside and some foxing but generally solid and sound, all plates present.
