Thomas Bewick Woodcuts
No full textAn Exhibtition of Thomas Bewick Woodcuts.Part of a WALK project , called to Bewick and Back that With support from Sunderland Cultural Partnership, since July 2014, WALK, using funding from a Your Heritage grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, has been working on Bewick and Back. At the project’s core was a series of ‘Walks’ along the banks of the Tyne from Newcastle to Bewick’s birthplace at Cherryburn and back to Gateshead. These walks were led by natural historian Keith Bowey, artist Marcia Ley of the University of Sunderland. During these walks, the project ‘explored’ the significance of this route, its landscapes and wildlife and, using words and art, began to investigate how the experience of walking though this landscape connected the participants to Bewick, and vice-versa
Select Fables
No full textIn 1776, Bewick did indifferent woodcuts for an edition of Select Fables. In 1784, T. Saint published a new book by the same name with new woodcuts by T. and John Bewick. In 1820 Charnley did a second edition of this book, with alterations and additions. (These are all distinct from Bewick's 1818 Fables of Aesop.) 165 fables, with tailpieces (not all by Bewick). The order and organization are different from those in my versions of Select Fables done in the 1870's; might these represent the 1784 edition? Excellent reproductions here in a book I am delighted to find. AI at front.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)Goldsmith
Select Fables of Aesop and Others
No full textIf this is what I hope it is, what a find! Only two things made me hesitate earlier to acknowledge this book as an original 1784 Bewick. First, Thomas (and John) Bewick are nowhere named. Second, I have a note from somewhere that the three parts should contain 48, 48, and 26 fables respectively, whereas this edition has 48, 67, and 26. What a beautiful little masterpiece. Earlier inscriptions indicate that it is a Bewick first edition. Repaired hinges. See 1776, 1818, and 1820 for further Bewick material. Now I am just home in May, '97 from looking at the Victoria and Albert copy of the 1784 edition, and theirs does not mention Bewick and has 48 + 67 + 26 fables. Yippee! It also has A New Edition, improved on the title page.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Original language: grcThomas Bewic
Select Fables from Aesop and Others
No full textHere is a small book (4 x 6) in poor condition. Green cloth covers. The spine has a gold title, a tall figure of Aesop the teacher and a student (?), and One Hundred Illustrations. The front cover has a floral cornucopia. Both covers have handwritten 1852-222-06. The spine is crumbling. The early Contents is really an AI. The engravings after Bewick are about 2½ x 1½ with the same wavy-line border around each. Each text is followed by a short Reflection. A cursory check suggests that the texts are not from Croxall. Though this book is published only in NY, the fisherman on 7 is fishing on the banks of the Thames. Page 11-12 is missing a portion. 35-36 are lacking. Whole groups of pages have become detached. I am happy to be involved in saving a tired old book like this one! Of course I have the sense that I have a very near parallel of this book but have searched thoroughly and come up with nothing close. Should not Engravings from Bewick read Engravings after Bewick?This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Illustrated with One Hundred Engravings from Bewic
Dover Pictorial Archive Series
No full textAn overwhelming collection of wonderful Bewick engravings. The fables are collected on 212-14, but many others are scattered throughout the book. Check the appendix ( Sources of Plates ) for the FA sign. There is a good short introduction.Blanche Cirke
The Fables of Aesop and Others with Designs on Wood
No full textNote that this is a reprint of Bewick's later Aesopic work, not the Select Fables of 1776/1784. Comparison of this work with the 1975 Paddington reprint of the 1818 edition raises questions: this one is smaller and shows slightly different typesetting of the texts, though the pagination seems to come out exactly the same. And how can a book be a facsimile of two editions? The impressions of the wood-engravings are unfortunately poor, and there is some staining. Still, any Bewick book is a treasure.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Thomas Bewick
The Fables of Aesop with Designs on Wood
No full textA fascinating book which deserves a good deal of study. The reproductions seem quite good. The tail-pieces, little pictures after each fable, are particularly fascinating. Some come back on the fable. A valuable book, first found (a copy now traded away) on a Dinkytown bookstore's floor.Thomas Bewick
Avenel Books
No full textNo index or T of C. Very small engravings, probably too small to be of use. The text may be from the eighteenth or nineteenth century, but I cannot find any attribution. A reprint of some of Bewick's art from Select Fables (1784). This book is a direct knock-off of the 1932 edition published by Ellis, with one line changed on the title page and apparently nothing else. The engravings are rendered more poorly and end up inky.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Thomas Bewick
The Watercolours and Drawings of Thomas Bewick and His Workshop Apprentices, Volume One
No full textThis is a re-issue of a book first published by Gordon Fraser Gallery in 1981. What a bargain! The two volumes are beautifully executed! The volumes have, respectively, 18 and 20 pages for Bewick's figures and tail-pieces from "Fables of Aesop and Others," published in 1818. Other Bewick works presented in this first volume include "General History of Quadrupeds"; "History of British Birds"; and "History of British Fishes." Particularly fascinating in this volume's coverage of the fables is the comparison between pencil studies and resulting published engravings. My favorite among these lovely pieces, in both categories, is "The Husbandman and His Sons." Without studying the two volumes closely, I am surprised at the number of engravings attributed to Bewick's various apprentices, whose times of apprenticeship are carefully recorded in Appendix A. Six tail-pieces are also included here. The volumes seem to trace plates printed under Bewick carefully. I would also love to learn more about what happened to the blocks used in printing. Bewick and his apprentices do lovely work!Iain Bai
Bewick's Select Fables
No full textNotable as one of the smallest Aesops I have found: about an inch square. The introduction (by F.E.I. ) points out that Bewick's originals were only two inches high. Eleven fables, each with an illustration, plus FC facing the title. From Bewick's Select Fables (1784).This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Thomas Bewick
