Fine Binding. Condición: Fine. Edmund H New Ilustrador. A beautiful Riviere bound copy of this popular natural history work by ornithologist Gilbert White. An exceptionally bound work, with natural history motifs gilt tooled to the spine. 'The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne' has remained in print since its original publication in 1789. It is compiled from letters from White to other naturalists as well as holding a 'Naturalist's Calendar' and a selection of poetry. It was well received contemporaneously and is regarded as an early contribution to ecology and phenology. With an appendix including marginalia from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's copy of 'White's Selborne' and a bibliography of 'The Natural History of Selborne'. This particular edition was edited by Grant Allen, with his notes. A charming work, which paints an idyllic picture of England in a pre-industrial setting. With the binder's stamp to the verso of front endpaper, Riviere. Adorned with illustrations by Edmund H New. New was a leading illustrator of his day, and was a member of the Birmingham Group. He frequently contributed to the 'English Illustrated Magazine' and was commissioned by the Bodley Head for many book illustrations, including the Compleat Angler.

In a half morocco binding with cloth covered boards. Externally, in an excellent condition. The gilt remains bright. Very little to no shelfwear to this work. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with just the odd spot. Fine. book.
