Henry Dresser's A History of the Birds of Europe | Manchester Museum

Henry Dresser’s nineteenth century anthology ‘A History of the Birds of Europe’ took 13 years to complete and many of its illustrations were based on preserved bird skins now held at Manchester Museum. These books and birds provide a historic record that helps us to understand how and why bird populations have changed over time. This collection is deemed a “national treasure” for its scientific and artistic value. Purchased jointly by the John Rylands Library and Manchester Museum, they continue to support the study of life on earth. Learn more on our website: https://www.museum.manchester.ac.uk/h...
