Abstract: en_US One of the stars of my collection. See my comments on the 1975 facsimile. Excellent wood engravings here in a book I am thrilled to have found. After seeing reprints, it is so wonderful to see the original! Some pencil markings, especially in the early historical comments. Otherwise very good condition. Original calf. Someone's advertisement for the book is pasted inside the front cover. Now that I have four copies of Bewick's 1820 edition, I can say that this copy shares many features with the Hughes copy, among them a last page that begins with consider and has Hodgson's printer's mark at its bottom, a church-image above the Advertisement (i), and a deer at water at its end (iv). It differs from that edition in having smaller and thinner paper. In fact it is the smallest of the four copies, with a page size of 5 x 8. Inscribed in 1855.
