ART SERIES

A series of books that brings to light, often for the first time, the artistically and scientifically fascinating painting and drawing collections of the Natural History Museum, London. Each book introduces pioneer artists whose names have until now been undeservedly little known. With splendid colour plates and a readable and scholarly commentary, published titles include:

Arthur Harry Church: The Anatomy of Flowers
Ferdinand Bauer: The Nature of Discovery
John Abbot: Birds, Butterflies and Other Wonders
Sarah Stone: Natural Curiosities from the New Worlds
William MacGillivray: Creatures of Air, Land and Sea

Forthcoming titles:
