Vangsgaards Antikvariat
vga689082
3 volumes. Bewick & Hodgson, Newcastle 1805-1807. XXXVIII+346; XXII+400; X+526 pages. Uniformly bound in contemporary full calf bindings, spines richly gilt and with gilt borders to the boards and inner boards as well as blind tooled borders to the boards. Corners a bit bumped and frayed. Three edges gilt. Inner front hinge of volume two restored. The interior is crisp and clean and printed on good, thick paper.

* British birds are second edition, Quadropeds is fifth edition. The beautiful books are some of the most famous woodcut works of the world.
** Bookplate inserted of John Bell, Thirsk. His son - also named John Bell - was a member of parliament, who lost his mind and was convinced that he was a bird - maybe he found inspiration in these volumes? Even his lunacy wasn't enough to remove him from parliament, where he was member till his death in 1851.
