Nature's Engraver
Jenny Uglow
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.
