This stunning volume brings together for the first time 68 outstanding drawings by Bartram, some previously unpublished, along with works by some of the most well-known natural history artists of the 18th and 19th centuries.
Placing his life’s work in the context of American natural history, science, and literature, this book is an excellent reference for anyone with a keen interest in 18th century America, and the assimilation of 18th century European and American scientists, naturalists, artists and poets.
