BIRD LIFE IN WILD WALES. By J.A. Walpole-Bond. Illustrated with photographs by Oliver G. Pike. Second impression.

(1903) 1904 reprint - second issue. Small 8vo (120 x 175mm). Ppxv,284 + 5pp ads. B/w photographs by Oliver G. Pike. Plain green cloth, upper board and spine titled in black.

The author was a Londoner and keen naturalist and student of bird life who moved to Wales in order to study its birds more closely. In this book he recounts his observations. A table at the rear gives a dated check list of all the bird species observed by the author between March and the end of June 1902. The book contains many good photographs, chiefly of birds' nests and eggs, by Oliver G. Pike. In contrast to the edition of the previous year, this smaller-format edition of 1904 appeared in plain green cloth and lacked the sheet of tissue between frontispiece and title-page. It was, however, issued with an extremely pretty dust-wrapper showing a colour painting, by Ernest Aris, of a duck alighting on a woodland pond. This copy is, unfortunately, lacking the dust-wrapper.
