Sobre este item
First Edition. 1790. Newcastle upon Tyne (see images).
pp. viii, 456
Very scarce.
Thomas Bewick (1753-1828) was an English wood engraver and natural history author. He is much admired today for the quality of his wood engravings and is usually considered as the founder of wood engravings. This book contains many examples of such wood engraving.
This History is comprehensive dealing with 260 mammals from across the world and is particularly thorough on domestic animals.
Binding very good. Later half calf green morocco over marbled boards with morocco label on spine. Raised bands on spine with gilt tooling and lettering.Light wear with a little scuffing to leather, mainly one corner. Spine lightly sunned. A little rubbing to head and tail of spine
Later ornate marbled endpapers. All edges marbled.
Text block good. Bewick's renowned wood cut engravings throughout. Also small vignettes as tail pieces dotted throughout.
Some damp staining mainly from title page to page 18 (not greatly significant) and occasional finger marks. Discreet repair to page 5 which had a tear. In general, leaves are clean.
No markings except for old sale price and "first edition" in pencil on first blank.
