Notes
"This book is the perfect introduction to Mark Catesby--artist, scientist, and explorer. It provides an overview of Catesby's travels as he explored southeastern North America before the land was extensively populated by Europeans. The beautifully illustrated pages introduce Catesby's genius to anyone curious about the natural world. Catesby's original work was first published in 1731, a century before John James Audubon's Birds of America, was properly described by a knowledgeable contemporary as 'the most magnificent work I know of since the art of printing has been discover'd.'"--Catesby Commemorative Trust website. -
