About this Item

Due volumi di cm. 23, pp. xxx (2), 335 (1); xx, 400. Con centinaia di illustrazioni xilografiche n.t. raffiguranti piccoli scorci di paesaggio e numerosissime specie di uccelli presenti al tempo in Gran Bretagna. Bella legatura del tempo in mezza pelle, dorso a 5 nervi con titoli su doppio tassello e fregi floreali agli scomparti. Piatti con carta decorata e ampie punte. Qualche sporadica macchietta, fioriture limitate a poche cc. finali del secondo volume. Esemplare fresco e ben conservato. Thomas Bewick (1753-1828), incisore e cultore delle scienze naturali originario di Ovingham (Inghilterra), fu autore di numerose opere tra cui spicca questa History of british birds, suddivisa in due parti (Land Birds - Water Birds). Per realizzarla Bewick sfruttò le conoscenze ricavate dalle sue escursioni in campagna oltre che le informazioni ottenute da abitanti ed esperti naturalisti del suo tempo, come Thomas Pennant e Gilbert White. Rara prima edizione (in prima tiratura), come si desume dalla vignetta a pagina 285 (vol. I) non censurata. Cfr. Kvk; Brunet, I, 839; Graesse, I, 358. . . . . . . 0. .
