GWASG GREGYNOG PRESS: OF A FEATHER very fine 2008 folio size limited edition (5/150) 'Of a Feather: Avian Collective Nouns & Terms of Assembly, Group Names & Associated Terms', bound by John Sewell in quarter leather, written, compiled, designed and illustrated with 61 wood engravings (31 full page) by Colin See-Paynton, forwarded by David Attenborough, packaging box and ephemeraProvenance: private collection SwanseaAuctioneer's Note (Gwasg Gregynog): Colin See-Paynton has spent more than four years in extensively researching and writing the text, and creating the sixty-one new wood engravings for this illustrated lexicon of avian collective nouns: an unprecedented achievement. In a critical essay David Alston, Arts Director of the Arts Council Wales, writes: 'not since Thomas Bewick, who both wrote and engraved in the late eighteenth century, have both literary and pictorial aspects been found conjoined in the one talent as here in this work'. That the observation and study of the natural world has been a lifelong interest is evident both from the engravings and the enthusiasm revealed in the text. From 'Abandonment of Cuckoos' to 'Zephyr of Long-Tailed Titmice' it enriches our knowledge of avian nomenclature far beyond the well-known 'Gaggle of Geese' - though that, too, is includedComments: fine condition, a beautiful volume for ornithology enthusiasts and book collectors
