{"product_id":"natures-engraver-a-life-of-thomas-bewick","title":"Nature's Engraver: A Life of Thomas Bewick","description":"A beautifully illustrated biography of Thomas Bewick (1753-1828), the man whose art helped shape the way we view the natural world\n\nAt the end of the eighteenth century, Britain, and much of the Western world, fell in love with nature. Thomas Bewick's History of British Birds marked the moment, the first \"field guide\" for ordinary people, illustrated with woodcuts of astonishing accuracy and beauty. But his work was far more than a mere guide, for in the vivid vignettes scattered through the book, Bewick captured the vanishing world of rural English life.\n\nIn this superb biography, Jenny Uglow tells the story of the farmer's son from Tyneside who influenced book illustration for a century to come. It is a story of violent change, radical politics, lost ways of life, and the beauty of the wild -- a journey to the beginning of our lasting obsession with the natural world.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0374112363\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0374112363.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Uglow, Jenny\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
