Hello,

Sorry for my bad english. Sowerby is dead in 1822, the photography did not exist on this date. This portrait cannot be Sowerby!--Valérie75 21:46, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I find ! The photography is James De Carle Sowerby (1787-1871).--Valérie75 21:01, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

publication method[edit]

I've been thinking about the system of part-work publication which was widely used for such natural history projects in the 18C-early 19C. First, it minimises the need for capital, and stretches the time available for the illustrators, so permitting a high standard of colouring. Then, as part-work proceeds, the sale of parts will gradually drop, minimising the time taken by colourists. Finally, parts are bound up as books, reaching a market of readers who didn't subscribe to the parts.

Cash flow starts high, gradually drops and rises again when bound copies are put out. Probably the printing is paid for in stages; even in 1959 the print runs for Darwin's book were quite small, c.1250 copies. Cost of engraving was high; perhaps they got subs in advance of publication. I may be able to find some printing history refs if you're interested in this kind of information.
