Item description from seller

58/100 COPIES (from an edition of 850 copies) signed by the artist on a tipped-in Preface, 43 full-page 'fish and fowl' illustrations, pp. 102, 4to, original red leather lettered in silver to backstrip and upper board with inset illustration to latter, marbled endpapers, with two cards from See-Paynton to previous owner regarding his order for the book and original prospectus, both loosely inserted, slipcase, fine. 'The love of natural things and of birds and bird-watching, fishing, art, drawing and print making, particularly wood engraving - all have proven to be essential to my well-being as has English literature and indeed the 'book' itself. I now hope and trust that each one of these wonderful ingredients are, in some small way at least, properly represented here in this volume.' (Preface).
