In one of the most acclaimed biographies of recent years, Jenny Uglow
tells the story of Thomas Bewick, the farmer’s son from Tyneside who
revolutionised wood engraving with his beautiful and rich
illustrations.
For a country on the brink of the industrial revolution,
Bewick’s woodcuts depicting nature and the rural North-East marked the
beginning of our lasting obsession with the natural world.
