Illustrations of British Ornithology Volume 1: Land Birds is a book written by Prideaux John Selby and published in 1833. It is a comprehensive guide to the birds of Britain, with detailed descriptions and illustrations of various species of land birds. The book is divided into several sections, each covering a different group of birds, including birds of prey, game birds, and songbirds. The illustrations are beautifully rendered and provide an accurate representation of each bird's appearance, including its coloration, markings, and distinctive features. The text is equally detailed, providing information on each bird's habitat, behavior, and diet, as well as its distribution and migration patterns. This book is an essential resource for birdwatchers, naturalists, and anyone with an interest in British wildlife.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
