The small Bewick wood block, etc. group consists of the contents of a specially-made box, approx. 6" wide by 7" tall by 2" deep.  The box was created by Chicago avocational private printer R. Hunter Middleton, preserver and printer of Thomas Bewick's late 1700s-early 1800s wood engraved blocks. The block is Bewick's "Crane Hawking" vignette, as identified by Middleton on a small print.  This print is identified by Ian Bain (1981, p. 9) as "A heron taking an eel..." which was first published in British Birds, 1847.
