Background:
These unique prints are from a guide authored by the British naturalist the Rev. F. O.
Morris. Each print portrays the nest and egg of a bird native to the British Isles.
Following is a review of the guide from the 1800s: "This work gives the
fullest information respecting the localities and construction of their nests, the number
and peculiarities of their eggs, and all the instruction requisite for determining to what
species they belong. Each egg is figured and minutely described, and a number of
nests are accurately drawn from specimens." The wood engravings were done by
the well-known British engraver Benjamin Fawcett.
