‘With Bewick on my knee, I was then happy...’ Jane Eyre Charlotte Brontë’s heroine was not alone in her enjoyment of Thomas Bewick’s British Birds – since its first publication in 1797 it has become one of the best-loved classics of natural history. Bewick’s masterful woodcuts are more than scientific records; each beady eye and jaunty pose betrays the artist’s love of birds. This edition includes over 180 bird species, from garden favourites such as robins, blackbirds and finches, to predators such as the osprey and the majestic golden eagle. Each entry is illustrated with an engraving, and throughout the book are narrative vignettes typical of Bewick’s playful, engaging style.
