Thomas Bewick [1753-1828] was an engraver and illustrator, well known for his use of wood engravings. In 1784, him and his brother John were employed by local printer "to engrave a number of woodcuts, for different publications in which he was engaged. Many of them were inserted in.a volume entitled 'Select Fables' in 1784.These cuts.engraved my Messrs. Berwick were afterwards purchased by Hall and Elliott, the printers of the Newcastle Courant Newspaper.after remaining with them for several years, was sold to Messrs. Wilson, of York, printers who had in their collection various other cuts.by the Bewicks.Thus accumulated, amounting to upwards of twelve hundred in number, was offered to, and bought by, the publisher of the present volume." [Advertisement, i-ii]. Many of the tailpieces in the book were also done by wood engraver and illustrator Isaac Nicholson [1789-1848], a former apprentice of Bewick's. Each fable is followed by a reflection and lesson.
