£19.50
by Nigel Tattersfield
Hardbound in green cloth, with a dust jacket. 64 pages with 62 illustration. Size 244 mm x 172 mm.
The Blavatnik Honresfield donation from Friends of the National Libraries to the Natural History Society of Northumbria of a quantity of Bewick material included many drawings relating to bookplates. This recent development is reflected in the scope and breadth of the present publication, originally intended to be a brief supplement to the first edition Bookplates by Beilby & Bewick. Now substantially enlarged, the book has 62 illustrations, including many original drawings never previously published, and an extensive quantity of new information. It stands on its own as a second volume to Bookplates by Beilby & Bewick and as an indispensable partner to that edition.
Chosen by the Bookplate Society as their membership book for 2023 and 2024.
