Leather. Zustand: Very Good. Thomas Bewick (illustrator). The second edition of Thomas Bewick's beautifully illustrated work on the mammals of the world. The second edition is much improved and enlarged from the first. Thomas Bewick, 1753-1828, was an English wood engraver and ornithologist. Bewick showed, at a very early age, a talent for drawing. He had no lessons in art. At the age of 14 he was apprenticed to Ralph Beilby, an engraver in Newcastle. In 1775 he received a premium from the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce. In 1776 he became a partner in Beilby's workshop. A General History of Quadrupeds first appeared in 1790. The Quadrupeds deals with mammals of the whole world, and is particularly thorough on some of the domestic animals. It includes bats and seals but does not include whales or dolphins. Bewick was helped by his intimate knowledge of the habits of animals acquired during his constant excursions into the country. Bewick's art is considered the pinnacle of its medium. This is likely due to his methods: Bewick, unlike his predecessors, would carve in harder woods, notably box wood, against the grain, using fine tools normally favoured by metal engravers. This proved to be far superior, and has been the dominant method used since. Ralph Beilby, 1744-1817, was an English engraver, working chiefly on silver and copper. Beilby became a silversmith, jeweller, and seal-engraver under his father and elder brothers. In addition, he became a copper engraver to meet the demand of the then North England market. In 1767 Thomas Bewick was apprenticed to him. The texts in Bewick's A General History of Quadrupeds (1790) and History of British Birds: Land Birds (1797) were drafted by Beilby and revised by Bewick. Collated complete. Expertly rebacked with a morocco spine and contemporary calf boards. Externally, wear to corners and slight rubbing to boards though spine remains smart. Internally, firmly bound. Loss to rear free endpaper. The tails of three pages have been removed and then neatly repaired, not affecting text. There are contemporary copperplate inscriptions to some pages. Generally bright with tidemarks to two front blanks. Some scattered foxing through, though many pages do remain clean. Marks to title page. Very Good. book.

Roscoe Thomas Bewick a bibliography raisonné 15c and 17a, variant C, and 29c and 30c. Nissen Die illustrierten Vogelbücher 91. Zimmer Catalogue of the Edward E. Ayer ornithological library 57-58. An attractive mixed set of the second edition of "Land Birds", with the first edition of "Water Birds" and the second edition of the "Supplements", dated 1821 but published in October 1822. Though never formally taught, Thomas Bewick (1753-1828) showed a talent for drawing from an early age. In 1767, when he was 14, he was apprenticed to Ralph Beilby, an engraver in Newcastle. In 1775 Bewick received a premium from the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce and became a partner in Beilby's workshop the following year. "A General History of Quadrupeds" was his first publication and appeared in 1790. By the late 18th century, the woodblock was the poor relation to steel or copper engravings. Bewick, unlike his predecessors, would carve in harder woods, notably boxwood, against the grain, using fine tools normally favoured by metal engravers. This proved to be far superior, and in so doing Bewick revolutionised the printing of illustrations using wood and brought the medium back to life and popularity. The success of "A General History of Quadrupeds" encouraged Bewick to begin working on his most famous work "History of British Birds". Issued in two volumes, the "History and Description of Land Birds" appeared in 1797, the volume devoted to water birds seven years later, in 1804. It was to be his tour de force with respect both to craftsmanship and creative imagination, and the work for which he will always be remembered. This time confining himself to only British species, he drew from live birds, specimens shot for him, or even from birds kept in his Newcastle garden for the express purpose of drawing them. Although criticised by some ornithologists for their lack of accuracy, his drawings nevertheless manage to seize the individual characters of the various birds. In addition, the work once again drew acclaim and was renowned for the many humorous and elaborate vignettes and tailpieces that so vividly capture English rural life. "Land Birds" features 140 descriptions of birds, 117 figures and 91 vignettes and tailpieces. Bewick's teacher Ralph Beilby (1744-1817) was an English engraver, working chiefly on silver and copper. As he had done for "A General History of Quadrupeds", Beilby once again wrote the descriptions for "British Birds", although by the time the second volume appeared Bewick had bought Beilby's share of the partnership, and composed the letterpress himself. "Water Birds" includes 144 descriptions, 100 figures and another 136 vignettes and tailpieces. These last are considered to be amongst his very best, and were certainly some of his own favourites. "History of British Birds" went through various revisions and expansions. Roscoe provides a detailed account of the various states of both volumes. Though dated 1797, the present copy of the "Land Birds" is in fact the second edition of 1798 as revealed by the price on the title page, and the images of the sea eagle and the magpie being in the second state. The infamous vignette at p. 285 appears here to be uncensored. The copy of the "Water Birds" is variant C according to Roscoe. In 1821, and revised in 1822, Bewick published "A Supplement to the History of British Birds", which, although sometimes found bound with the seventh edition, was also published separately and bound together in one volume, as found here.

Roscoe Thomas Bewick a bibliography raisonné 1b, variant B. Thomas Bewick's beautifully illustrated study of the mammals of the world, which revealed his considerable skills as an engraver for the first time, and ultimately led to a renaissance in wood engraved illustration. Though never formally taught, Bewick (1753-1828) showed a talent for drawing from an early age. In 1767, when he was 14, he was apprenticed to Ralph Beilby, an engraver in Newcastle whose name appears in the imprint of the present work together with Bewick's. In 1775 Bewick received a premium from the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce and became a partner in Beilby's workshop in the following year. "A General History of Quadrupeds" was his first publication and appeared in 1790. In this ambitious work, over 250 mammals of the world are described, of which over 200 are illustrated, ranging from cats to bats, and lions to seals. It is particularly strong on domestic and local animals and Bewick had acquired an intimate knowledge of their habits during his constant excursions into the countryside as a devoted naturalist and ornithologist. Whilst renowned for the skill and accuracy of the depictions, it is the inclusion of a further 103 humorous tailpiece vignettes that helped to seal the work's enduring popularity and success. By the late 18th century, the woodblock was the poor relation to steel or copper engravings. Bewick, unlike his predecessors, would carve in harder woods, notably boxwood, against the grain, using fine tools normally favoured by metal engravers. This proved to be far superior, and in so doing Bewick revolutionised the printing of illustrations using wood and brought the medium back to life and popularity. Bewick's teacher Ralph Beilby (1744-1817) was an English engraver, working chiefly on silver and copper. The texts for Bewick's "A General History of Quadrupeds" (1790) and "History of British Birds: Land Birds" (1797) were drafted by Beilby and revised by Bewick. Both works proved immensely popular and went through numerous editions and variants. The present copy does not have the watermark "TW" at p. 328. The fly on p. 176 faces right, and the opossum on p. 376 is not labelled (indexed as Opossum of New South Wales; and subsequently called the Squirrel-opossum in the second edition) which accounts for the "wrong" catchword on p. 375. The annotation on the blank cover paper tells us that Bewick had the opportunity to show his skills as an illustrator to the Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia when he visited Newcastle on the 14th of December 1816.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Newcastle: for the author, 1805. Second edition, in two volumes, Land Birds and Water Birds (xxxviii, 346; xxii, 400). Nearly three hundred wood engravings of birds plus many head and tail pieces, etc., in the inimitable Bewick style. Tall octavo in three-quarter leather over marbled paper, plain gilt titles and decoration to spines (hinges cracked but holding firm, wear to the extremities); large paper with generous margins framing the text and illustrations (lightly foxed first few prelims). Land Birds, first published in 1797, was seven years in the making and Water Birds, published in 1804, five (All the while, of course, Bewick carried on the work of his busy design and engraving business). The result, taken together with his Quadrupeds, as Jenny Uglow says in her admirable biography Nature's Engraver (Faber 2006), 'brought nature to life, and revived the nearly forgotten art of wood engraving' (306). Engravings accompanying clean text are sharp and clear. A handsome copy of an enduring ornithological classic.
