Judith MAGEE—"ART OF NATURE"—1st UK ED—History of Animals in Art

Description: • For your consideration: • A “SUMPTUOUS” First Edition in Hardcover of: • “ART of NATURE:Three Centuries of Natural History Art from Around the World”(Natural History Museum, London, 2009) (Hardcover, First Edition) • BY JUDITH MAGEE • For lovers of both Art & Animals: • “It is at once a history of the medium and an account of the great age of exploration in the late 17th to 19th centuries, when Europeans set sail to all corners of the globe for purposes of trade and scientific discovery. Throughout the Age of Enlightenment, the artists who took part in these missions documented the natural world around them, producing a body of work that was both aesthetically significant and scientifically useful. As MAGEE explores the subject continent by continent, the sumptuous illustrations give the reader a wonderful sense of the range of work of these artist/explorers. Written in a straightforward style, this highly informative book delves not only into the historical evolution of the genre and its artists but emerges as a thoughtful consideration of the social context out of which it developed.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY •• For more details, please see below…. • TITLE: “ART OF NATURE: Three Centuries of Natural History Art from Around the World” EDITOR: JUDITH MAGEE ILLUSTRATED: YES!

GENERAL ATTITUDE. We are grateful that our customers choose to trust us with their business. We aim for our gratitude, and respect, to permeate every part of how we do business with you. 2. GENERAL TREATMENT. We like treating our customers with warmth and respect and honesty because that’s how we like to be treated when we buy things on eBay.3. DESCRIPTIONS. We describe the items we sell honestly—and as clearly as we can. If anything, we tend toward being conservative when describing condition. Example: An item that we label "very good" might very well be called "excellent" by other sellers. 4. PACKING & SHIPPING. We understand that items can be damaged during shipment if they are not carefully packed and shipped. So we carefully pack and ship things. (WARNING: In our zeal to protect your purchases, we sometimes over-tape containers and you may need a pen knife to open them.) 5. PRICES. We tend to do a lot of research before listing any item. That’s how we figure out how to offer the lowest online prices for whatever we are selling. Even our most expensive items tend to be lower than what others are offering. (“You could look it up!” —to quote the baseball immortal Jack Keefe.) SUMMARY: We here at FLAPPINCAT are dedicated to treating you well. *********** ***********How We GRADECONDITION 1. The condition of every item will be described in detail.2. For books and magazines, we will use the standard grading of: FINE, NEAR FINE, VERY GOOD PLUS (or +); VERY GOOD; GOOD; FAIR; & ACCEPTABLE (and/or “READING COPY”). We don’t sell books in “POOR” condition.3. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. However, since grading condition can be subjective—and since no grader is perfect—it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. (It is also possible that we may miss some perfections!) But should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you.4. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you honestly think we haven't described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect and that people can have different opinions—and still be civil! (*Get it?)5. Please feel free to ask any questions about condition (or anything) before bidding on an item. Although we include multiple photographs in our listings we have more we could share with you if you want. (In the rare case that an item is damaged en route to you, these photos establish a paper-trial.)*********** ***********How We Do SHIPPING Every item sold by FLAPPINCAT will be wrapped and cushioned carefully within a sturdy container. NOTE: Though we often recycle shipping materials, we do NOT stint on protection. (If anything, we sometimes over-protect and over-tape our packages, FYI.) SHIPPING RATES for BOOKS:IN THE UNITED STATES: We ship books via "media mail." Every item is individually priced. (Magazines are generally shipped first class or priority; the Post Office does not permit magazines to be shipped “media mail.”)INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS: To those countries to which we ship (see list), the cost of postage is individually listed with each item.Note: EXPEDITED SHIPPING in the United States is available if you request, and pay, for it BEFORE we ship your item.
