[Cattle Sales]

Catalogue of Pure Shorthorn and Hereford Cattle bred at Colac, by Messrs. Robertson Bros., to be sold by Public Auction at the Estate, Colac, on Friday, the 4th January, 1878 ... Richard Gibson & Co., Agents. Pedigrees guaranteed. [Fifth Annual Sale (cover subtitle)]

Melbourne, Sands and McDougall, Printers, 1877.

Octavo, 152 pages plus 5 lithographed plates (2 with an unnumbered captioned page facing them).

Full morocco lettered in gilt on the front cover (three letters now a little abraded); three of the last 26 leaves are missing, 19 have a horizontal and vertical perforation in the bottom half (not as issued!), and four of these have attendant partial loss; overall, a decent copy with some mitigating features (see below).

At least 53 of the 77 lots have the names of the purchasers, and the prices realised, pencilled in (and a few others have these details erased but still discernible); a number of others have just the price present.
