TitleLeadingThe
SynopsisBewick's celebrated histories of quadrupeds and birds have obscured the immense number of other books illustrated in his workshop. From 1765 until 1849 his workshop provided illustrations for books, pamphlets, periodicals, and newspapers. The range of illustrations encompassed natural histories, children's story-books, cookery books, religious tracts, spelling books, mathematical treatises, Bibles, agricultural manuals, local town and county histories, joke books, and even a book of sermons.Generously illustrated and arranged alphabetically this book details some 750 titles, over 450 of which are unrecorded in earlier bibliographies. In addition it provides sections on newspaper mastheads, book cover designs, copy-book covers, maps, and large single prints.Whether appealing to the Bewick aficionado, book historian, art historian, provincial printing enthusiast or admirer of engraving on wood or copper, this will be an indespensible work.
