Seller's Description:
1974. H. F. & G. Witherby. first edition. VG. dj VG. 10x7.5. 135pp. 14 colour plates. Some magnificently illustrated bird books were published in the Victorian era, in response to the demand for accurate coloured pictures of our own native birds and the new, often exotic, species which at that time were being discovered in all parts of the world. This looks at how the books came to be written, and tells the story of the authors, artists and craftsmen who produced them.
The most important illustrations in this book had been cut out. I attempted to contact the book seller for a replacement but no response. A sad lesson to learn about buying second hand.
