Their instantly recognisable style was to influence book illustration well into the nineteenth century. The antiquary and print collector Thomas Hugo (1820–76), best known as a collector of Bewick woodcuts, first published this two-volume catalogue of his extensive collection in 1866–8. It has since emerged that many of the items sourced from printers' offices and booksellers across the country - including Thomas Bewick's own publisher, Emerson Charnley - cannot be authenticated as the Bewicks' work. The collection was nonetheless a remarkable assemblage of valuable materials, including uncut first editions, woodblocks, handbills and broadsides (all regrettably dispersed after Hugo's death) which might otherwise have been lost. Lavishly illustrated throughout, Volume 1 comprises the catalogue, which includes an appendix of Bewick portraits, letters and memorabilia.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e List of cuts in the volume\u003cbr\u003e Books and pamphlets\u003cbr\u003e Proofs, etc., of the cuts in the History of Quadrupeds\u003cbr\u003e Proofs, etc., of the cuts in the History of British Birds\u003cbr\u003e Proofs, etc., of the cuts in Aesop's Fables\u003cbr\u003e Proofs, etc., of the cuts in miscellaneous books and pamphlets\u003cbr\u003e Prospectuses, proofs, etc., of the cuts for the intended History of British Fishes\u003cbr\u003e Book-plates, etc.\u003cbr\u003e Cuts for societies, companies, clubs, etc.\u003cbr\u003e Cuts for exhibitions, etc.\u003cbr\u003e Racing cuts\u003cbr\u003e Shop cards\u003cbr\u003e Invoice heads\u003cbr\u003e Tradesmen's newspaper cuts\u003cbr\u003e Bar bills\u003cbr\u003e Coal certificate\u003cbr\u003e Plans\u003cbr\u003e The Royal Arms\u003cbr\u003e Arms of Newcastle\u003cbr\u003e Newspaper cuts\u003cbr\u003e Broadsides, carols, etc.\u003cbr\u003e The Chillingham Wild Bull\u003cbr\u003e Bewick's lithograph\u003cbr\u003e Miscellaneous cuts\u003cbr\u003e Waiting for death\u003cbr\u003e Drawings\u003cbr\u003e Wood blocks\u003cbr\u003e Additions\u003cbr\u003e Appendix\u003cbr\u003e Index to books and pamphlets.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20general%20%5BDSB%5D%22\"\u003eDSB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266127974680,"sku":"9781108057233","price":40.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108057233i_2a2d2a9c-dfa5-4ce0-8960-8c0680e65d86.jpg?v=1696747339","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-bewick-collector-a-descriptive-catalogue-of-the-works-of-thomas-and-john-bewick-paperback-9781108057233","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
