Thomas Bewick (1753–1828) is synonymous with finely crafted wood engravings of the natural world, and his instantly recognisable style influenced book illustration well into the nineteenth century. This celebrated work, first published in two volumes between 1797 and 1804, was the first practical field guide for the amateur ornithologist.
