Search the Thomas Bewick archive

This page is dedicated to the collection of manuscripts relating to Thomas Bewick, collected by Iain Bain, and acquired by The Wordsworth Trust in 2013. The letters, business papers and notebooks have been digitised, and an image of each item is reproduced alongside its catalogue record. The images of the manuscripts were created thanks to the very generous assistance of The Friends of the National Libraries.
