Work on A History of British Birds began in 1848 after renowned printer Benjamin Fawcett 
approached Morris to write the text when Morris became Vicar of Nafferton, Yorkshire. Publication, which 
took over seven years to complete from June 1850, was undertaken in monthly parts costing one shilling. 
Each part contained 24 pages of letterpress and 4 hand-coloured plates. The final six-volume 
work contained 358 coloured plates. One thousand copies of the first part were initially produced.

Alexander Francis Lydon was one of the principal engravers, contributing much in 
technique and design to the plates.Morris became an early advocate 
for conservation and was instrumental in founding the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
