About the Item
William Lewin (1747–1795) was an English naturalist and illustrator. By 1776 he was earning a living as a pattern drawer, and by 1783 was describing himself as a painter. Lewin specialized in natural history subjects. In 1789 he began to issue his "The Birds of Great Britain, with Their Eggs, Accurately Figured," which he had been working on for the previous twenty years. It included 323 watercolor sketches of each of the 271 of birds and 52 plates of eggs, all which he hand-painted himself for the 60 copy first edition, a total of 19,380 individual paintings. In 1791 his friend John Latham sponsored Lewin's membership of the Linnean Society.
The work measures 16 7/8" x 14 7/8" framed.
