Transfer drawing in pen and watercolour by Thomas Bewick for the engraving in his History of British Birds Vol I. 1797. Several hundred of such preparatory drawings and watercolours have survived and many are considered outstanding in their own right. The drawing is in the collection in the British Museum. In 1767 Bewick became apprenticed to Ralph Bielby of Newcastle upon Tyne and so commenced his career as a wood engraver. He received a premium or prize from the Society for engravings to illustrate a book of fables published in 1776. On being given the choice of a gold medal or seven guineas he chose the latter and presented it to his mother. Several of his pupils later also gained premiums. a fact of which he was very proud. 21,000 copies sold.
