of complete lithograph
This steel engraving of Yack is found in Volume II, section entitled: Papers on Natural History. This is a unusual section as it only consists of this print and one of Yacks. The only text in the section is Commodore Perry's brief "Introductory Note" explaining that the person who was to prepare this report "...for reasons never satisfactorily explained to me...failed to describe them...." Perry indicated that he wanted these prints in Volume I but because they were not written up, he had to include them in volume II.
The textual page with Perry's introductory note is still attached.
The titles/lettering read:
- YACK (Bos grunniens, Cuv)
- U.S. JAPAN EXPEDITION - NAT. HIST. PLATE I (outside right frame line).
Top edge (binding edge) is ragged with large piece of edge torn about 6cm into margin. Small tear in bottom margin.
Paper thickness is 7mm.
