		Prideaux John Selby was a versatile gentleman naturalist, born on 23 July 1788 in Alnwick, Northumberland, he inherited Twizell House and its estate in 1804, and throughout his life did not neglect his duties as a landowner, magistrate, High Sheriff, and then Deputy Lieutenant of Northumberland.
		Natural History and Ornithology had been Selby's passion from youth, and Christine Jackson notes, in her excellent introduction to the Sotheby's catalogue of the sale of the Bradley Martin collection of Selby watercolours, that, besides `collecting and preserving birds, Selby had observed them in the field, making careful notes of their habitat and habits.
		Selby and Sir William Jardine both purchased their copper plates and etching ground from Pontifex of London, and their letters refer to the progress made in drawing and "biting" or etching their plates.

		Both were outstanding artists, but Selby was also an etcher which added another dimension to his works.
		Christine Jackson in her book "Bird Etchings" goes on to say, "The copper plates were superbly executed....Tone, shade, and texture were all exploited to the fullest extent and demonstrate the best of which copper etching and engraving were possible".
		PRIDEAUX JOHN SELBY (1788-1867) was a gentleman Squire who was one of the most scholarly figures in the Natural History world of Victorian England.
