Antique Books, History of British Birds, by Thomas Berwick (1753-1828)

A History of British Birds in two volumes (1 and 2) by Thomas Bewick (1753-1828).
In good condition commensurate with age, these books are full leather bound with gilded decoration and were printed in 1847 by J Blackwell and Company
Every page has an illustration and it would appear that some of the birds recorded are sadly now extinct.
