Item History & Price
MONOGRAPH OF THE ASIATIC CHIROPTERA AND CATALOGUE OF THE SPECIES OF BATS IN THE COLLECTION OF THE INDIAN MUSEUM, CALCUTTA VERY RARE ONE-OF-A-KIND ASSOCIATION COPY By George E. Dobson
British Museum, London. 1876. Hardcover. 8vo. vii + 228 pages, 3 plates, figures and tables. Excellent condition with minor cover wear and very light bumping to corners. Presentation bookplate from Indian Museum to Professor J. O. Westwood Calcutta, 7 May 1877. Binding tight. Cover clean... with gold gilt spine lettering and gold gilt embossed bat head on front board. Small ink stamp on FFEP from Oxford University. Westwood was a famous entomologist.
This copy wound its way to J. A. Jentnik, famous bat biologist, then to C. A. Young, famous mammalogist, then to internationally famous bat biologist the late Arthur Greenhall, whom I purchased this from many years ago. I have collected bat books for 30+ years and have come across very few copies of this title, this copy being the nicest I have ever seen. Many of the pages are uncut, so it was never used.
