Title A name given to the resource A Colourful Cod Description An account of the resource Shaw’s General Zoology was a popular natural history compendium published in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. The “Fishes” volumes of Shaw’s Zoology are often found on the market today; however, this is the first (and only!) copy I have seen where all 189 engravings have been professionally hand coloured. This specific plate was chosen to compare with the uncoloured example of the same plate featured in the original exhibition.

Title A name given to the resource A Binding in Fish Skin Description An account of the resource I believe that engaging with the larger community of book artists and craftspeople is an important—and arguably essential—part of being a book collector. I enjoy occasionally commissioning custom bindings for my books. This copy of Hallock’s The Fishing Tourist was recently bound in fish skin by Winnipeg binder and book artist, Debra Frances. The skin is Lake Trout, which Debra caught in a Northwestern Ontario lake and then cleaned and tanned herself before executing the binding. The Fishing Tourist is a significant book, as it was the first to widely publicise the presence of an important gamefish, the Michigan Grayling. Unfortunately, the fish became so popular that overfishing, combined with habitat loss and introduction of other fish species, led to its extinction by the 1930s.

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.

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 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 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.
