This superb set of volumes by acclaimed wildlife artist Archibald Thorburn is set to go under the hammer on the morning of April 10 at a specialist sale of books, maps and manuscripts to be held by auctioneers Tennants at their premises in Leyburn, North Yorkshire. The pre-sale estimate is that the Lot will fetch between £200 and £400 which seems modest. However, it has to be said that the market for antiquarian ornithology-related books has not not been notably strong in recent months.
