ABOUT THE PUBLICATION / EDITOR / ARTIST
Edward Donovan (1768-1837) was a wealthy prominent naturalist who had an entree to all the great collections of the time. He drew the subjects for his illustrations from his own museum and collections of such famous scientists as Sir Joseph Banks and Dru Drury, Banks a renowned botanist and explorer, and Drury a wealthy insect collector and entomologist (both having collections that were studied by other naturalists).
This print is from Donovan's The Naturalist's Repository or Miscellany of Exotic Natural History Exhibiting Rare and Beautiful Specimens of Foreign Birds, Insects, Shells published in 1823-27: London.
