From the library of ornithologist, artist, illustrator, author and editor Robert Gillmor MBE with one typed and two hand-written cards/notes and two pencil on tracing paper (one annotated) drawings by Gillmor. Robert Gillmor contributed a great deal to the production of ‘The Birds of the Western Palearctic. He was a member of the editorial board on all volumes, a named illustrator (in Vols. I, III & IV) and the dustwrapper illustrator for this magnificent work. A truly unique set.
The typed card is from Stanley Cramp, the Chief Editor of these volumes, to Robert Gillmor requesting the re-drawing of one of the plumage illustrations for Vol. 5. One hand-written card is from P.J. Grant of ‘British Birds’ to Stanley Cramp to say that some corrections are needed for the topography charts in Vol.1. A further hand-written note, possibly by Stanley Cramp, confirms Grant’s suggestions and also referring to a wrongly drawn image being the result of a misunderstanding between Robert Gillmor and Jan Wattel.
