VERY GOOD
CONDITION
This sale is for a
large size vintage hardback FIRST EDITION entitled “Turner’s Birds,” subtitled “Bird Studies from Farnley Hall,”
by David Hill, with numerous illustrations
in COLOUR, including an illustrated half-title and title page.
It was published
by Phaidon Press Limited, of Oxford, and is the 1988 FIRST EDITION (stated).
This is an
enchanting book which reproduces the twenty exquisite watercolours of birds,
including the peacock, partridge, pheasant, grouse, and robin, which J. M. W.
Turner painted for the Farnley Hall Ornithological Collection, and which are
now owned by the Leeds City Art Gallery.
The book was
published for the exhibition Turner at Farnley – the Book of Birds held
at the City Art Gallery, Leeds, from April – June 1988 and the Clore Gallery,
Tate Gallery, London, from 10 October – 11 December 1988.
The book measures 9.75
inches x 8.5 inches and has 64 pages (including illustrations).
The book is in
good, neat condition for its age, with minor wear to the similarly very good
original dust-jacket (not even price-clipped!) There are NO
inscriptions/book-plates and NO other ink or pencil markings in the book. The binding is good with no loose or missing
pages.
A wonderfully
illustrated vintage FIRST EDITION.

Unwinsbooks have held down shipping prices
from 2013-2020 in spite of small increases in postage costs. However, Royal Mail Prices dramatically changed
on 1 July 2020, as a result of exceptional cost increases outside of their
control, so we are reluctantly having to pass on pricing increases for parcels
being sent overseas (primarily USA, New Zealand, Australia and the Rest of the
World).
These costs are a direct result of:
“Royal Mail, always aim to deliver the best
value international services. We fully recognise that these changes are
significant. This was a decision we reluctantly took but is necessary in view
of the increased costs borne by Royal Mail.”
If the Royal Mail reduce their charges in
the future (in particular what they term “Temporary Air Carrier Supplement
Pricing”) unwinsbooks will reduce the international costs accordingly.
Unwinsbooks always
obtain a proof of postage receipt from the Royal Mail. Packages over Royal Mail size rules may be
sent by courier (customer will be informed).
Goods will be WELL PACKAGED by Unwins Books
and dispatched once payment has cleared.
