Beschreibung

xv; vii; 126 pages. Woodcut illustrations throughout by Thomas and John Bewick. Faint splash mark on final leaf. Attractive brick-red morocco small neat repair to upper hinge, raised bands, matching marbled boards and endpapers and pastedowns. Published by Bulmer as a companion to Goldsmith and Parnell's Poems. "This work contains the best specimens of John Bewick's abilities as a designer; all the cuts were drawn by him, except one, but none were engraved by him. Shortly after he had finished the drawings of the blocks, he returned to the North in consequence of ill health. They were engraved by Thomas Bewick . the Gentleman's Magazine says, 'The works of this young artist will be held in estimation; and the engravings to Somervile's Chase will be a monument of fame of more celebrity than marble can bestow.'"
