Auction opportunity beckons to buy set of volumes illustrated by acclaimed bird artist Archibald Thorburn

 



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.
