‎Bewick Thomas‎

‎History of British Birds First Edition 1797‎

‎<p>Bewick Thomas: 1753-1828 History of British Birds. The Figures Engraved on Wood by T. Bewick. Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 containing the description and history of land birds etc. Newcastle: Sol. Hodgson; Edward <br /><br />Walker 1797; 1804 1804. 2 vols. 8vo. xxx ii 335 1; xx 400 pp. With 233 cuts of birds in the text. Contemporary half-polished calf over boards spine gilt; an excellent copy with respect to the interior of the book. Unfortunately the board is detached and nearly off. This copy is signed by Henry Oates and resented to him by his Aunt Ann Rayner in Dec. 1797. Ascended from Joseph Henry Oates to Lawrence Titus Oates who accompanied Scott on his expedition to the South Pole. </p><p><br />First edition second issue as shown by the presence of the words "Wycliffe 1791" from the figure of the sea eagle on p. 11 of Volume I. Mottled calf over paper boards with some damage to the leather on volume <br />one and volume two. Occasional spotting but otherwise a nice clean and internally bright copy. This is a very rare set owing in part to the signature and ascension of the Oates family. Published in two parts the first deals with land birds the second with water birds. "The text of the first volume was entirely written by Ralph Beilby; the illustrations are all by Bewick. It is as illustrator and artist that Bewick is best known and mainly on account of his excellent woodcuts this work passed through numerous editions a supplement being published by him in 1821. He also issued a number of small atlases of cuts without descriptive matter. The text in all the treatises bearing his name is mostly compilations from earlier writers." Thomas Bewick 1753-1828 is best remembered for his wood engravings especially those in his two works of Natural History: A General History of Quadrupeds and A History of British Birds Vol. I Land Birds Vol. II Water Birds. The methods of printing used in the eighteenth century led Bewick to develop techniques of engraving that far surpassed the work of his contemporaries. He lowered the surface of the blocks in the areas which he 'wished to appear pale so as to give the effect of distance'. These techniques together with Bewick's complete mastery of the traditional methods and his artistic ability resulted in some exquisite engravings. Masterful engraving indeed but all too frequently the printers of the day had neither the opportunity time or the incentive to produce fine sensitive impressions. Today printing the engravings individually and using a combination of eighteenth and nineteenth century techniques and twentieth century materials I was able to produce impressions that I hope go some way towards revealing the full potential of the blocks. As always it was both a privilege and a pleasure to print these wood engravings. Bewick was born in the north of England at Cherryburn on the south bank of the river Tyne twelve miles west of Newcastle upon Tyne. At the age of fourteen he was apprenticed to Ralph Beilby a general engraver in Newcastle. Ten years later he formed a partnership with Beilby. Wood engraving was only a small part of the business and the majority of the work involved engraving inscriptions and decorations on a wide variety of objects such as guns dog collars harness clock faces rings cutlery and the engraving of banknotes billheads and even bookbinders' tools and letters. <br /><br />Bewick is best known for his wood engravings in his two works of natural history: A General History of Quadrupeds and A History of British Birds Vol.1 Land Birds Vol. 2 Water Birds. Bewick started to engrave <br />the illustrations for the Quadrupeds in 1785 and in his autobiographical Memoir 1 recounts: 'The greater part of these Wood cuts were drawn & engraved at nights after the days work of the shop was over. The <br />book was very well received and Bewick was encouraged to work on a history of birds. © David Esslemont 1997. These books were purchased at a Dominic Winter Auction and further family provenance is as follows from a Oates historian. "Joseph Oates whose name is inscribed in the volume was the great-grandfather of Captain Oates. He was born in 1743 and died in 1824. His wife was Elizabeth Rayner which accounts for the other signature in the book. Joseph Oates and Elizabeth Rayner had six children and the youngest Edward 1792-1865 married Susan Grace in 1836. One of their five children was William Oates 1841-1896 the father of Captain Oates. His grandparents' names were included in the full name of Captain Oates - i.e. Lawrence Edward Grace Oates. There is a strong connection with travel and exploration throughout the Oates ancestors." There is no connection to be found that these books were taken on the expedition or recovered from the expedition if they were they would be worth considerably more than our price. It is safe however to say that it was a treasured set by grandparents and parents of Oates and that both the great grandfather and father had interest in birds and collected such upon their travels around the world. From the age of 20 until his death at 32 Oates was mostly away in service or in the Antarctic. He spent 9 months at his ancestral home recovering from a leg wound he received in the Boer War in 1901.<br /></p> Sol. Hodgson; Edward Walker hardcover‎
