Bewick Studies

Thomas Bewick was born 250 years ago at Cherryburn in Northumberland. As one of the finest artists of the region and most admirable of wood engravers, his work may be compared with that of the most skilful miniaturists. Drawn from a wealth of scattered correspondence, the artist's own Memoir, the rich archive of his workshop and other sources, this book celebrates the life and work of one of Britain's most influential talents.
