Thomas Bewick

Thomas Bewick (1753-1828) was a distinguished English wood-engraver, born in Northumberland, apprenticed to the trade in Newcastle. He showed his art first in woodcuts for his "History of Quadrupeds," the success of which led to the publication of his "History of British Birds," in which he established his reputation both as a naturalist, in the truest sense, and an artist.
