Description: | This scene places the Rook in its natural habitat - Thomas Bewick's characteristic approach. We see nests high in the trees, huge flocks in the sky and a scarecrow in the field warding them off the newly-sown crop. The Rook is one of the birds featured in Bewick's famous book, 'Land Birds'. It is one of the birds listed in the index, with the Magpie and Jay, as 'birds of the pie kind'! | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1825 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
