A beautifully illustrated biography of Thomas Bewick (17531828), the man whose art helped shape the way we view the natural worldAt the end of the eighteenth century, Britain, and much of the Western world, fell in love with nature. Thomas Bewicks History of British Birds marked the moment, the first field guide for ordinary people, illustrated with woodcuts of astonishing accuracy and beauty. But his work was far more than a mere guide, for in the vivid vignettes scattered through the book, Bewick captured the vanishing world of rural English life.In this superb biography, Jenny Uglow tells the story of the farmers son from Tyneside who influenced book illustration for a century to come. It is a story of violent change, radical politics, lost ways of life, and the beauty of the wild a journey to the beginning of our lasting obsession with the natural world.

This book is lovely, but it took longer to arrive than I expected. The content is fascinating, and the engravings are absolutely beautiful, but I wish it had come a little quicker. Still, worth the wait for any art lover.

Great for Art Enthusiasts
I bought this book for my art class as a reference for my students. Thomas Bewick's work is well-explained and the stories are inspiring. However, I hoped the binding would be a bit sturdier; it feels like it could wear out with frequent use.

Disappointed with Print Quality
I had high hopes for this book, but the print quality was not what I expected. Some of the images looked washed out compared to what I saw online. Such a shame because Bewick's engravings are usually vibrant. This one missed the mark for me.
