    Hawkins & Gray - Mule. Hemionus & Burchell's Zebra. Mule ‐ by a Mule & Bay Mare

    Est: $250 - $500

    This hand-colored lithograph is from John Edward Gray's Gleanings from the Menagerie at Knowsley. The image was done by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins. The work was published in London by McLean & Co. circa 1850. The work was a comprehensive visual survey of one of the largest private menagerie's in Victorian England. Edward Smith Stanley, 13th Earl of Derby (1775-1851) was a learned naturalist, who pursued his avid interest in zoology after a brief and unfulfilling political career. In addition to his frequent contributions to the Zoological Society's journal Proceedings, Stanley served as president of the Linnaean Society from 1828 to 1833 and, towards the end of his life, as president of the Zoological Society. He is probably best known, however, for the extensive menagerie of birds, quadrupeds, reptiles, and fish that he founded on his family estate of Knowsley outside of Liverpool. Stanley invested a significant amount of his fortune maintaining the menagerie and adding to the impressive collection of specimens housed in its zoological museum. He enlisted the help of two great 19th-century natural history artists to visually record aspects of his sizeable menagerie in its hey-day: Edward Lear (1812-1888) to record the birds and Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins the "Hoofed Quadrupeds." These remarkable images were published between 1846 and 1850 in J. E. Gray's Gleanings from the Knowsley Menagerie and Aviary at Knowsley Hall. Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins was a distinguished natural history artist and sculptor, who was primarily known for the popular full-sized replicas of dinosaurs and prehistoric reptiles that he created with Richard Owen for the Crystal Palace exhibition of 1853-4. He later moved to New York to produce similar life-like models for the American Museum of National History.

    Hawkins & Gray - Alpaca ‐ Llama Alpaca

    Est: $250 - $500

    This hand-colored lithograph is from John Edward Gray's Gleanings from the Menagerie at Knowsley. The image was done by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins. The work was published in London by McLean & Co. in 1844. The work was a comprehensive visual survey of one of the largest private menagerie's in Victorian England. Edward Smith Stanley, 13th Earl of Derby (1775-1851) was a learned naturalist, who pursued his avid interest in zoology after a brief and unfulfilling political career. In addition to his frequent contributions to the Zoological Society's journal Proceedings, Stanley served as president of the Linnaean Society from 1828 to 1833 and, towards the end of his life, as president of the Zoological Society. He is probably best known, however, for the extensive menagerie of birds, quadrupeds, reptiles, and fish that he founded on his family estate of Knowsley outside of Liverpool. Stanley invested a significant amount of his fortune maintaining the menagerie and adding to the impressive collection of specimens housed in its zoological museum. He enlisted the help of two great 19th-century natural history artists to visually record aspects of his sizeable menagerie in its hey-day: Edward Lear (1812-1888) to record the birds and Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins the "Hoofed Quadrupeds." These remarkable images were published between 1846 and 1850 in J. E. Gray's Gleanings from the Knowsley Menagerie and Aviary at Knowsley Hall.

    GRAY, John Edward (1800-1875). Gleanings from the Menagerie and Aviary at Knowsley Hall. Knowsley: printed for private distribution, 1846. [With:] Gleanings from the Menagerie and Aviary at Knowsley Hall. Hoofed Quadrupeds. Knowsley: printed for private distribution, 1850. 2 works in one volume, 2° (548 x 374mm). First work: 17 hand-coloured lithographic plates after Edward Lear, 16 by J. W. Moore, one by D. Mitchell, printed by Hullmandel and Walton, coloured by Bayfield. (Small repaired tears to plates 7 and 9.) Second work: 62 lithographic plates by and after B. Waterhouse Hawkins, printed by McLean & Co. or Hullmandel & Walton, of which 16 printed in colours or tinted. (Small tears along the external margin of first plate.) Contemporary red half calf, gilt title on spine. Provenance: Sir Robert Heron (gift from the Earl of Derby) -- Herbert Whitley Trust (stamp). PRESENTATION COPY OF THIS RARE WORK, a record of a selection of the birds and mammals in the Menagerie at Knowsley with two autograph inscriptions on the title-pages: "From Lord Derby" on the first work and "For Robert Heron Bart from the Earl of Derby" on the second. Edward Smith Stanley, 13th Earl of Derby, commissioned Edward Lear and Waterhouse Hawkins to picture examples from what was at the time the largest private zoo in England, covering 170 acres and containing 1,272 birds and 345 mammals at the time of Lord Derby's death in 1851. Lord Derby developed a captive breeding programme and the sale catalogue of the menagerie and aviary notes that 84 of 412 species had been bred at Knowsley. Privately-printed, it is probable that no more than 100 copies of each volume were produced. Anker 189; Fine Birds Books p. 103; Nissen IVB 392 and ZBI 1691; Wood p. 368; Zimmer p. 273.
