Mrs Griffiths’ Woodpecker (Green)

Mrs Griffiths’ Woodpecker (Green)In 2010 I picked up some bookplates in Davids second hand bookshop in Cambridge. Included was the frontispiece which had at the bottom, along with the date 1815, illustrations mostly by Mrs Griffiths there started a search to find out who she was, and what else she might have done. I kept coming back to the same publication, consisting of about 30 volumes. The originals are tiny black and white engravings and this Series attempts some sort of homage
