Covers very good with light general wear. Contents clean and tight no inscriptions. A very good copy. Eric Hosking OBE Hon FRPS FBIPP 1909-1991 was widely acknowledged as one of the world's most eminent natural history photographers "Perhaps the most famous bird photographer ever to have lived" Gemma Padley. He was pioneering and developed new techniques especially the use of flash photography and automatic shutter release technology which enabled him to photograph birds at night and freeze birds in flight for the first time. Famously when just 28 he lost an eye to a tawny owl while climbing up to a hide in rural Wales the event which inspired the ingeneous title of his autobiography "An Eye for a Bird" 1970. Over his exceptionally long career he photographed over 1800 species and his pictures have appeared in some 1000 books including the popular New Naturalist series of which he was photographic editor. Hosking was not only a photographer of birds but also a highly knowledgeable ornithologist. H.F. & G. Witherby Ltd Paperback

8vo., Fourth Edition thus, with 23 coloured plates of drawings by the author and numerous illustrations and maps in the text; blue cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter [only] lightly damp-marked. This seminal work, a true classic of modern ornithology, first appeared with black-and-white illustrations in the Second Annual Report of the [then] Severn Wildfowl Trust, 1948-49. It was reissued as a separate book in 1950 with a revised edition in 1951. This coloured version first appeared in 1957 and amounts to an entirely new publication. Substantial revisions have been made to the text and there has been further extensive revision in the light of the most recent taxonomic opinion. Yet further revision in included in the 1968 edition as here. The damp-marking is undeniable but far from offensive. The clothbound copy is very scarce, especially in the dustwrapper.

WITH THE FINE NINETEENTH CENTURY ENGRAVED ARMORIAL BOOKPLATE OF JAMES COAPE ON FRONT PASTE-DOWN. Harris's 'Natural History' was first published in 1793.

'In the present edition of Dr. Harris's valuable work it has been deemed advisable to throw the Appendix into the general alphabet. No other alterations have been made; but some important corrections and copious additions have been introduced, both the in the body of the work and in the notes' (Advertisement following title).
