First edition thus, with preface dated 1820. 8vo, contemporary boards, rebacked some time ago and front hinge recently professionally refurbished. Spine with six compartments and two labels, nicely detailed, although in a somewhat later style. Bookplate of the eminent collector Boies Penrose II on the front pastedown and second bookplate of George & Laura Gifford on the front free endpaper. Rectangular rules around edges of boards, all edges marbled with matching marbled endpapers, edges of boards with fine minute marquetry-like decoration. Two early bookseller's labels on front pastedown endpaper, first one (presumably) from Matthews & Co., Bradford, and second one from Willis & Sotheran, London. The recent book "The Art of Thomas Bewick" by Diana Donald launched a reevaluation of Bewick, seeing him as an innovator within the framework of the age of invention. The book was reviewed in The New York Review of Books under the heading "England's Great Neglected Artist" in October, 2015.
