1 A General History of Quadrupeds  Bewick, Thomas
Newcastle upon Tyne Newcastle upon Tyne 1824 
8vo. Eighth edition, woodcut vignette illustrations, original boards, slightly marked, paper spinel label rubbed off. very good+, scarce in original state. 'That Bewick chose to illustrate the work with wood engraving, apart from his great affinity for the medium, was largely due to the fact that the wood block of a wood engraving (cut on the end grain of a hard wood such as boxwood) could be printed simultaneously with the letterpress. This meant that an illustration could appear on the same page as its related text. The undertaking of the publication for Bewick meant the execution of 200 figures of quadrupeds, as well as the many vignettes or tail-pieces. By the time of the second edition, there were 212 figures of animals and 224 by the time of the fourth edition in 1800. The vignettes in subsequent editions also increased in number and were much improved from those appearing in the earliest editions.' - Roger H. Boulet
