London: Engraved and Printed by the Permission of John Baskett ... Sold by John Sturt, Engraver ..., 1717. xxii,162,[2]pp. comprised of engraved dedication, prefatory matter and text, advert leaf and 4pp. subscribers list. Octavo. Richly bound in modern black morocco, raised bands, gilt spine label, boards with decorative roll in blind around edges, edges with original silvering. A bit of foxing to retained original binder's blanks, uniform slight toning to textblock, otherwise near fine, with the paper volvelle on p. V unsullied by time or abuse. Enclosed in an ultra suede-lined cloth folding chemise. First edition, printing in octavo format. This is the variant/impression in which page V has an ornamental border composed almost entirely of cherubs and there is no roman numeral at the head of the page. It is also one of the less common copies with the margins, initials and textblock ruled in red. All aspects of the contents were executed by English engraver and calligrapher, John Sturt via silverplate engraving. Each page is surrounded by a delicate border, and many pages of the main text include one or more of a total of 129 different engraved scenes relevant to the particular text. Sturt (1658- 1730) engraved most of the works of English writing-master, John Ayres, and contributed engravings to a number of religious or illustrated publications of his time. The advert leaf enumerates several of them, including the 1721 edition of THE ORTHODOX COMMUNICANT - suggesting that the advert leaf was revised as copies were bound and sold in the years following publication. There were also an unspecified number of copies imposed in 4to format, and yet other copies appear without red rules enhancing the borders and text blocks. ROTHSCHILD 1987. ESTC T141241. GRIFFITHS 1717.2 (illustrated). LOWNDES, p.1493.

A collection of 22 woodblock prints on a single theme, "illustrated" by poems of various authors. Spaul's images are taken from life in our urban surroundings.

The creators of the book wished to accompany Spaul's images with poetry written by authors who tried to write about birds as birds, rather than just using them as vehicles to carry human characteristics.
