A set of twenty-one woodblocks engraved by Robert Gibbings to illustrate Lord Grey's The charm of birds, first published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1927. The illustrations for the 1927 and subsequent editions were printed from stereotypes of the original blocks. The original woodblocks were subsequently acquired by the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library and impressions taken directly from the blocks were published by the Barbarian Press in Gibbings & Grey and The charm of birds (Toronto, 1998). Cf. Introduction to Barbarian Press edition.

"1502" - inscribed on edge of many of the blocks.
