A Collection of 59 original pen and ink and watercolour studies, unsigned, after George Edwards, 19th-century, average dimension 280 x 210mm. (some browned and frayed), loosely-inserted into a contemporary calf folio album (worn, covers detached).

An attractive album, principally of bird subjects, including owls, game birds, eagles and parrots, by Jane Grace Taylor, a skilled amateur artist of Dockendale Hall, Wycombe, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. A manuscript list tipped-in at the front of the album calls for a total of 60 in the album. Numbers 45 and 47 are missing, but there is an extra study, not on the list, of a female figure holding what appears to be a squirrel.
