Natural History

Natural history illustration flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries, when scientific expeditions returned with specimens no European audience had ever seen. Publishers and learned societies commissioned artists to render birds, botanicals, insects, and sea creatures with a precision that doubled as beauty. The tradition carried into the 20th century through magazines and museum print programs. The pieces shown here are period originals from that lineage.
