A Memoir of Thomas Bewick is an autobiographical work written by Thomas Bewick and published in 1862. The book provides a detailed account of Bewick's life, from his childhood in Northumberland, England, to his rise as a successful wood engraver and natural history illustrator. Bewick's memoir is divided into two parts. The first part covers his early life, including his upbringing in a farming family, his apprenticeship with a local engraver, and his travels to London to further his career. The second part focuses on his work as an illustrator, including his famous illustrations of birds, animals, and landscapes. Throughout the book, Bewick provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th-century engraving and illustration. He discusses his techniques for creating detailed and realistic images, and shares anecdotes about his interactions with fellow artists and clients. A Memoir of Thomas Bewick is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of illustration and engraving, as well as for those interested in the life and work of one of England's most celebrated artists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
