A propos de cet article

Lindsay Drummond Ltd, London, 1943. Second edition. 204pp. Original green cloth hardcover with illustrated dust jacket. At the Turn of the Tide: A Book of Wild Birds by Richard Perry, illustrated with four colour reproductions of paintings by Peter Scott, John Duncan and Richard Harrison, together with photographs by W. W. Nicholas, H. N. Southern and others. An evocative account of the wild birds of Britain's coastal landscapes, including tidal marshes, estuaries and islands. Drawing on the author's extensive field observations, the book explores wild geese, waders, gulls, seabirds and migration, with particular reference to Holy Island, the Farne Islands and the Solway Firth. This 1943 second edition includes a new introduction written on Holy Island during the Second World War, reflecting on the importance of protecting Britain's remaining wild places and remembering the young bird photographer Lieutenant Alan Richardson, who was killed during the war. Condition: Very Good book in Fair dust jacket. Original green cloth boards appear well preserved, with some light age-related wear. Pages shown are generally clean, with minor toning. Original illustrated dust jacket has significant edge wear, including a substantial loss at the upper-left corner of the front panel, together with rubbing, creasing, small tears and surface scuffing. The jacket retains its attractive original bird illustration. Please see photographs.…
