Lewin, William. The Birds of Great Britain, with their Eggs, accurately Figured. London: for the Author, 1789-1794 7 volumes, 4to (335 x 258mm.), 322 original body-colour paintings by Lewin, occasionally heightened with gum arabic, (270 of birds, 52 of eggs) 23 paintings in volume 1 with Lewin's stamp erased from lower margins, contemporary English marbled calf gilt, covers with double gilt fillet border enclosing greek-key roll, flat spines gilt in compartments with two birds perched on the rim of a chalice, green morocco lettering pieces, red morocco volume labels with green morocco onlay, gilt turn-ins, marbled endpapers, bound without plate 171*, rebacked, original spines laid down with occasional repairs to head and foot, neat repairs to corners Note: A very handsome copy of the first edition of one of the rarest of all bird books. Lewin produced only about 60 sets of his work, a Herculean task as he individually hand-painted all 323 illustrations sixty times over for his subscribers - instead of conforming to the standard procedure and illustrating the work with engravings coloured by hand. The presence of the deleted stamps in volume 1 and the consistently high quality of the paintings indicates that this is probably one of the earlier sets to be completed. Lewin, a native of London, first made his living as a designer of textile patterns, and then as a painter specialising in natural history subjects for the dowager Duchess of Portland and others. The last ten years of his life was devoted to this monumental work, which was the most magnificent and comprehensive record of British birds ever produced. A second, much commoner, edition with hand-coloured engraved plates was issued in 1794-1801. Fine Bird Books, p.91; Lowndes 2:351; Nissen IVB 562; Wood, p.435]. Provenance: William Amyas Bailward (1852-1918), armorial bookplate.

Note: ESTC 125237; Kayserling p. 55; Palau 4 p. 206; Roth 330-1. Important and rare work by the Portuguese Marrano, Daniel Israel Lopez Laguna, "It was the earliest book printed by a resident of Jamaica under British rule." (Cundall History of printing in Jamaica from 1717 to 1834). Brought up in the South of France, Laguna studied in Spain where he was arrested by the Inquisition. On his release, presumably after reconciliation with the Church, he settled in Jamaica, where in the latter part of the 17th century, after ownership of Jamaica had been settled by the Treaty of Madrid, there were a number of resident Jews who enjoyed freedom of religious worship. About 1720 Laguna went to London and published the present paraphrase of the Psalms in a variety of Spanish verse forms. The book had originally been planned in prison and represents the fruits of some 23 years of labour. In a number of places, the author makes allusion to the Inquisition and its persecutions. The work is prefaced by various celebratory verses in Spanish, Latin and English. He later returned to Jamaica where he had been naturalised in 1693
