	NTS AMC - Thomas Bewick, Engraver - Notes on his life by John Rayner (Early life)
		Old Thomas Bewick was a farmer and owned a colliery in Northumberland, and his son Thomas was born at Eltringham, a dozen miles east of Newcastle and a little south of Hadrian's Wall, in 1753.
		Thomas Bewick kept to his morning-to-night industry at his bench on weekdays, and each week-end walked the twelve miles home to his parents, proud of his regularity, and never missed a visit, whatever the weather, from the time when he set up in Newcastle in 1777 until his parents died eight years later.
		Bewick had read as a prentice the much reprinted treatise by the sixteenth-century Venetian advocate of discipline and temperance, Gornaro, who died a centenarian, and it was not until he was twenty-eight that he ever tasted brandy; he softened a little his austerity when he married after his parents' death.

	Newcastle University Library - Special Collections - Exhibitions - A Life of Fine Details, Thomas Bewick (1753-1828): ...
		Bewick's attitude toward his pupils was paradoxical at best; he seems to have enjoyed teaching the young men new skills, but he objected to working with those that did not share his outlook on life.
		Bewick was a strong believer in education and self-improvement and he developed his ideas in a number of small books on education and moral instruction.
		Bewick was a devout man whose strong beliefs in God, hard work, virtue and patriotism were the guiding principles by which he lived by, yet, he 'never could be religious at church.' Little wonder then that Bewick sought to convey the lessons of the scriptures by alternative means.

		Bewick was trained to be a wood-engraver, an art which had become so coarse and crude it was used chiefly for the most basic ornaments and roughest designs.
		Bewick's small drawings, called 'tailpieces' were referred to humorously by him as 'talepieces', as he said they were 'seldom without an endeavour to illustrate some truth or point moral'.
		Bewick transformed a crude art into the most popular form of graphic art in England until the introduction of photography in the later 19th century.

		Thomas Bewick (1753-1828) was born in Northumberland and showed an early interest in drawing, painting and natural history.
		He used the end of the plank of wood, rather than the side, which meant that he was working on material of a finer grain, and he also utilized the `white line' process, cutting away the wood to vary the shading.
		Bewick began his engravings by producing accurate and detailed watercolours of his subjects, which he then used as a reference, and some of these watercolours have been preserved.

		Bewick was a bird-watcher and a countryman and his finest works are natural history illustrations, particularly those to his celebrated books A General History of Quarupeds (1790) and A History of British Birds (2 vols., 1797 and 1804).
		The animals and birds are characterized with great skill, but Bewick is as much admired for his tailpieces, which are minature scenes of rural genre, showing with a rare felicity the countryside in its varying moods in all weathers and seasons and shrewdly observed pictorial comment on incidents of rustic life.
		Thomas Bewick's reputation as an artist-engraver on wood brought him fame in his lifetime which has never since diminished.

		Bewick had first engraved on wood in about 1768, but the first significant works were illustrations for various Fables.
