A propos de cet article

Three volumes, 8vo, pp. [iv], xli, [iii], 223; [iv], 272; [iv], 304; a very attractive copy in marbled boards, with calf spines nicely decorated in gilt; plain endpapers. Originally published in two volumes in 1796 and 1800; this is the second edition, printed by Hamilton of Weybridge. Many of the early vignettes were designed by Thomas Bewick's brother John, who had died in 1795, and the work was completed by his brother, and by Charlton Nesbit. A fine set, bound in Stockholm by the early 19th century Swedish binder J.F. Stangenberg, with his oval label in volume III. The set was still in Stockholm in 1874, as witnessed by the inscription in each volume of Alfred Svensson. Tattersfield TB 2.167.
