This fine facsimile, beautifully produced and limited to 250 copies, provides access to one of the great rarities of English ornithology. The book was originally published in 1835 with engravings by Robert Havell after drawings by Perrot (1790-1836). Perrot lived in Worcestershire and took a keen interest in the natural history of the county. It was intended to be part of a larger work however the artist's death in 1836 cut short the project and only the first part was ever published. The birds featured are: Common Fowl, Raven, Wood Pigeon, Winchat and Blue Titmouse.

Facsimile reprint limited to 250 copies. Folio (55 x 38 cm). 5 coloured plates, text, the original wrapper reproduced in brown, [with] Prospectus to the reprint, small folio, uniformly bound in brown half morocco gilt, marbled boards, housed in original half morocco fold-over box, a mint copy.

Mullens & Swann pp 469-470.
