Nissen IVB 96. - Mullens/Swann p. 64. - Anker p. 35. - First edition, this one just with plates. - Bewick (1753-1828) revolutionized the technique of wood engravings at the end of the 18th century. He made drawings of live birds of the collection Marmaduke Tunstall for this work. "Bewick had great influence on the stimulation of interest in ornithology in Great Britain...it is primarily the fine woodcuts with which Bewick illustrated the work that explain its wide circulation and popularity" (Anker). - Slightly foxed in places, few pp. slightly waterstained. Edges rubbed. -
