First published in 1797 Thomas BewickâGé¼s crisp yet subtle woodcuts of British birds, with their succinct and sometimes idiosyncratic descriptions, quickly became a much-loved classic. This selection from the 1826 edition includes raptors such as the golden eagle; kittiwakes, puffins and other seabirds; and garden visitors such as robins, finches and tits. A new introduction describes BewickâGé¼s life, career and engraving technique, while a glossary explains technical terms.
