Good A robust set of the third edition of Edward Stanley's History of Birds in a gift binding "Books suitable for presents handsomely half bound morocco with gilt edges" declaims the publisher's advert inscribed to Louisa Frances Wedgwood 1834-1903 the great granddaughter of Josiah Wedgwood through both her mother and father from her Aunt Eliza likely her maternal aunt Elizabeth Sarah Wedgwood 1795-1857. Louisa Wedgwood would have been thirteen when she received these volumes from her aunt and while the illustrations don't strive for the refined execution of the bindings the plates are engagingly dramatic including 'Contest between a Boy and an Eagle' and 'Perilous Leap of a Bird-Catcher'.

Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional and particularly internally is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation for a book of its near 60 year-old age and nature i.e. an child's book. It is only the minimal minor faults described that prevents a slightly higher grading overall. Despite them it really is still an exemplary example for its cleanliness brightness and lack of other detracting faults. Originally first published in The Family Tutor in 1852. The author H. A Wedgwood was a grandson of Josiah Wedgwood of Etruria the potter marrying his cousin Jessie Wedgwood also a grandchild of Josiah. The story was liked by all the children of the Wedgwood and Darwin families that the author's sister Mrs Darwin in 1887 had it privately printed as a small book for the next generation of children. A charming story about a little princess and the magic ring which made her able to talk to birds. Gwendolen Mary Raverat b. 1885 - d. 1957 worked as Gwen Raverat. Born in Cambridge England daughter of Sir George Darwin Professor of Astronomy and grand-daughter of Charles Darwin. She learned the rudiments of wood engraving from her cousin by marriage Elinor Monsell but was mainly self-taught as an engraver. She studied painting at the Slade School of Fine Art c.1908-10 and married fellow-artist Jacques Raverat 1911. After the death of Jacques in 1925 in France where they had lived she returned to London for 3 years where she designed sets and costumes for a new Vaughan Williams ballet 'Masque for Dancing' performed 1931. She was art critic for Time and Tide 1928-39 and worked during WW2 as a draughtsman in the Naval Intelligence Office in Cambridge. A stroke in 1951 forced her to give up wood engraving but she continued painting until the end of her life. An admirer since childhood of the work of Thomas Bewick she began engraving seriously soon after her marriage. Her earliest book illustrationsfor her cousin Frances Cornford's 'Spring Morning' 1915 showed the qualities of her mature style. Her most ambitious book was 'The Bird Talisman' a Victorian fantasy for children written by H. A. Wedgwood to whom she was a great-niece. For the colour illustrations she used three or four blocks a process little used for illustrations since Lucien Pissarro's Eragny Press publications. In these illustrations she succeeded in capturing the fairy-tale atmosphere of the story while evoking something of the quality of hand-coloured children's books of the early 19thC.
