17437017London:: The College of Physicians 1743-51. First edition. Fine . Pl 206 The Sea-tortoise. Original hand-colored copperplate engraving. Quarto 9 x 12 inches. Includes text. George Edwards London 1694-1773 was a Fellow of the Royal Society and Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in London who rejected his early formal training and potential career in business to pursue his passion in natural history. His dedication and talent as a draftsman and naturalist was evident thus gaining the attention of Sir Hans Sloane President of the College of Physicians and the Royal Society. Sir Hans offered Edwards the post of Librarian of the Royal College of Physicians in London and enlisted him to draw the natural curiosities of Sloane's private museum. This connection became the inspiration for Edward's masterful achievements; A Natural History of Uncommon Birds Published between 1743 and 1751 and the subsequent work; Gleanings of Natural History which was produced between 1758 and 1764. These two works illustrated and documented many previously unrecorded specimens of birds reptiles and insects held in England's private collections up to the mid eighteenth century. A monumental achievement Edwards documented- in English and French- painted engraved and hand-colored every one of the fine compositions in this Pre-Linnaean natural history opus. Although not a field naturalist Edwards placed many of his birds and animals in landscaped settings which was unusual for the time. In other compositions birds are elegantly perched on stylized branches in a classic Georgian format more decorative than realistic charming nonetheless. A gracious and humble man Edwards established firm and respected alliances with naturalist pioneers Carl Linnaeus 1707-78 Mark Catesby 1683-1749 from whom he learned the art of engraving and subsequently aided Catesby in the revision of his publication; The Natural History of Carolina Florida and the Bahama Islands London c.1754 as well as William Bartram from whom he acquired several species of Pennsylvanian birds included in his volumes. As Edwards' work predates the completion of the Linnaean classification system Linnaeus was to borrow the English names of many of Edwards species for his renowned work on classification and nomenclature.

A Fine and rare original hand-colored copperplate engraving by Frederick Polydore Nodder and/or his son Richard Polydore Nodder from The Naturalist's Miscellany. Octavo 6 x 9.5 inches 15.24 x 24.13 cm. Includes the original text in both English and Latin by George Shaw MD FRS. The Naturalist's Miscellany distinguished by the refined hand-colored copperplate engravings and astute naturalists' observations was aptly named as a diverse naturalists' compendium of the birds mammals reptiles insects fish and crustacean identified by seventeenth and eighteenth century naturalists spanning the globe particularly around the South Seas. Many of nature's most fascinating and unusual creatures were discovered during this period several of which were introduced through The Naturalist's Miscellany. Doctor George Shaw 1751-1813 Fellow of the Royal Society cofounder of the Linnaean Society as well as Zoologist of the British Museum contributed the text. Publication of the Naturalist's Miscellany ceased with his death in 1813. Upon the death of the artist FP Nodder 1770-1800 his wife Elizabeth and their son Richard Polydore Nodder 1793-1820 contributed artistically and editorially to the publication. Indeed a family affair both Frederick Polydore Nodder and his son Richard produced every one of the plates. A gifted and distinguished naturalist Frederick P. Nodder was the preferred Botanical Painter to Her Majesty Queen Charlotte. His early skills as botanical and animal draughtsman and engraver were honed from his association with Sir Joseph Banks who employed Nodder to complete and engrave the drawings from the sketchbooks of the late Sydney Parkinson. Parkinson accompanied Banks as botanical draughtsman aboard Captain James Cook's The Endeavor in 1771. Parkinson died on the return of this South Seas Voyage. These engravings along with the natural history collections of the British Museum were the basis for the mastery of the Naturalist's Miscellany. Frederick's son Richard P. Nodder a gifted animal painter in his own right was distinguished as botanic painter to King George III. At the time of its creation The Naturalist's Miscellany was highly coveted as a definitive natural history offering and as was the custom the work was issued in installments between 1790 and 1813. Each volume was dedicated by permission and dutifully inscribed to the most devoted patrons and contributors of the natural historical pursuits of eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain: Queen Charlotte Sir Joseph Banks Thomas Pennant Esq.

Many of nature's most fascinating and unusual creatures were discovered during this period several of which were introduced through The Naturalist's Miscellany. Doctor George Shaw 1751-1813 Fellow of the Royal Society cofounder of the Linnaean Society as well as Zoologist of the British Museum contributed the text. Publication of the Naturalist's Miscellany ceased with his death in 1813. Upon the death of the artist FP Nodder 1770-1800 his wife Elizabeth and their son Richard Polydore Nodder 1793-1820 contributed artistically and editorially to the publication. Indeed a family affair both Frederick Polydore Nodder and his son Richard produced every one of the plates. A gifted and distinguished naturalist Frederick P. Nodder was the preferred Botanical Painter to Her Majesty Queen Charlotte. His early skills as botanical and animal draughtsman and engraver were honed from his association with Sir Joseph Banks who employed Nodder to complete and engrave the drawings from the sketchbooks of the late Sydney Parkinson. Parkinson accompanied Banks as botanical draughtsman aboard Captain James Cook's The Endeavor in 1771. Parkinson died on the return of this South Seas Voyage. These engravings along with the natural history collections of the British Museum were the basis for the mastery of the Naturalist's Miscellany. Frederick's son Richard P. Nodder a gifted animal painter in his own right was distinguished as botanic painter to King George III. At the time of its creation The Naturalist's Miscellany was highly coveted as a definitive natural history offering and as was the custom the work was issued in installments between 1790 and 1813. Each volume was dedicated by permission and dutifully inscribed to the most devoted patrons and contributors of the natural historical pursuits of eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain: Queen Charlotte Sir Joseph Banks Thomas Pennant Esq. The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge The Trustees of the British Museum to name a few. Andrews1986 Blunt 151Coats 25 Sitwell FBB 142 Wood 482. Copyright: Lowry-James Rare Prints & Books 1/09.
