A fine set in contemporary uniform binding of 'one of the most important of all bird books, both as a fine bird book and a work of ornithology' (Sitwell, Fine Bird Books). The father of British ornithology, George Edwards (1694-1773) was appointed librarian at the College of Physicians, with the assistance of Sir Hans Sloane, who also employed him to draw curiosities from his own collection. These drawings, as well as others made by Edwards from the collections of his circle, including Mark Catesby, and the Dutchman Gideon Loten, formed the basis of his Natural History. Amongst the species described, some of which appear in print for the first time, are many from India and North America. Edwards personally oversaw the colouring of the engravings - 316 of which are of birds - carefully supervising the colourists who worked from twelve model copies coloured by the author himself. The work includes 'some brief instructions for etching on engraving on copper-plates', Edwards having been encouraged to etch his own plates by Catesby, and 'A Brief Idea of Drawing and Painting in Water-Colours'.
