Title A name given to the resource Two Catfish Description An account of the resource Illustrators and printers have struggled with how best to represent the vibrant colours and unusual shapes of fish on the page. The invention of chromolithography presented a new way to print in colour, and this technique was quickly used to print images of fish. Strack’s Naturgeschichte in Bildern mit erläuterndem [1826] was one of the fish books to use chromolithography to show the diversity of beautiful fish.

Title A name given to the resource A Selection of Fish Description An account of the resource In addition to the diversity of perspectives that non-Western books bring to my collection, the physical books themselves reveal differing characteristics of book-making around the world. These Japanese books are bound by punching holes through the boards and text block and then externally stitching the boards and text block together with a string. The pages themselves are made from a thin but supple type of paper folded in half with printed portions on only the outside, but not the inside, surfaces of the resulting folded leaf.

Title A name given to the resource A Japanese Binding Description An account of the resource One significant new direction in my collection since A History of Fish debuted is my effort to collect books in less-common languages and from non-Western authors. This set, purchased from a bookseller in Japan, includes the complete fish section of the Wakan Sansai Zue encyclopedia. Including non-Western titles in my collection reveals interesting ways that various cultures have viewed and classified fish. For example, these volumes divide fish into four main classes: “Fish in rivers and lakes with scales,” “Fish in estuaries and seas with scales,” “Fish in rivers and lakes without scales,” and “Fish in estuaries and seas without scales.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Justin Hanisch (photographer) Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Wakan Sansai Zue [Volumes 48-51, comprising the complete fish section of the encyclopedia] Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Ryōan Terajima (compiler) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource n. d.

Title A name given to the resource An 1880s Dust Jacket Description An account of the resource Dust jackets have been used by publishers for at least a few centuries to protect a book’s binding and also to advertise the book’s contents and other works from the publisher. Dust jackets were often discarded, however, to reveal the attractive binding beneath or because readers found them to be a nuisance. As a result, pre-twentieth-century dust jackets are especially scarce. This dust jacket from 1886 simply reproduces the text found on the book’s boards. The book it covers is the only copy of this common title I have seen with its jacket. The jacket is the oldest dust jacket in my collection.

Title A name given to the resource In the Author's Hand Description An account of the resource This close-up of the inscription found within Richardson’s Notice of the Fishes is addressed to “Dr. Greville.” This Dr. Greville is likely Robert Kaye Greville (1794–1866), an English natural historian who specialized in mycology and botany. Greville’s herbarium included some specimens from Arctic expeditions, and Richardson and Greville were known correspondents.

Title A name given to the resource Notice of the Fishes Description An account of the resource This is one of the earliest publications by zoologist and explorer, Sir John Richardson. His Notice of the Fishes was included as an appendix in Sir John Franklin’s Narrative of a Journey to the Shores of the Polar Sea, in the Years 1819, 20, 21, and 22 (1823). This is the scarce separate printing of Richardson’s report on the fish of this important Arctic expedition and includes his inscription to “Dr. Greville.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Justin Hanisch (photographer) Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Notice of the Fishes Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available John Murray Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource n. d.

Title A name given to the resource Traces of the Original Binding Description An account of the resource I chose this copy of The Fishing Tourist for rebinding as the text block was generally clean but the binding had suffered serious damage. When I received the rebound book from Debra Frances, I was delighted to find a portion of the original binding’s spine and endband pasted to new front free endpaper. Small details such as this that preserve the physical history of a specific copy of a book are one of the things I love about book collecting.
