Eighteenth Century Vignettes: Third Series de Austin Dobson
A pot pourri of 18th century Vignettes, fourteen in number, mainly reprinted from periodicals - the best of which are 'The Adventures of Five Days' and 'The Tour of Covent Garden'.
This is a biography of the English engraver and amateur ornithologist, Thomas Bewick, who set up a print shop in Newcastle where he worked for 50 years. His most famous work is the History of British Birds, which was published in two volumes from 1797 to 1804. The Bewick's swan and Bewick's wren are named for him.
A witty compilation, copiously and beautifully illustrated.
