520 "An archive of never-before-published illustrations of
insects and plants painted by a pioneering naturalist
During his lifetime (1751-ca. 1840), English-born
naturalist and artist John Abbot rendered more than 4,000
natural history illustrations and profoundly influenced
North American entomology, as he documented many species
in the New World long before they were scientifically
described. For sixty-five years, Abbot worked in Georgia
to advance knowledge of the flora and fauna of the
American South by sending superbly mounted specimens and
exquisitely detailed illustrations of insects, birds,
butterflies, and moths, on commission, to collectors and
scientists all over the world. Between 1816 and 1818,
Abbot completed 104 drawings of insects on their native
plants for English naturalist and patron William Swainson
(1789-1855). Both Abbot and Swainson were artists,
naturalists, and collectors during a time when natural
history and the sciences flourished. Separated by nearly
forty years in age, Abbot and Swainson were members of the
same international communities and correspondence networks
upon which the study of nature was based during this
period. The relationship between these two men--who never
met in person--is explored in John Abbot and William
Swainson: Art, Science, and Commerce in Nineteenth-Century
Natural History Illustration. This volume also showcases,
for the first time, the complete set of original, full-
color illustrations discovered in 1977 in the Alexander
Turnbull Library in Wellington, New Zealand. Originally
intended as a companion to an earlier survey of insects
from Georgia, the newly rediscovered Turnbull manuscript
presents beetles, grasshoppers, butterflies, moths, and a
wasp. Most of the insects are pictured with the flowering
plants upon which Abbot thought them to feed. Abbot's
journal annotations about the habits and biology of each
species are also included, as are nomenclature updates for
the insect taxa. Today, the Turnbull drawings illuminate
the complex array of personal and professional concerns
that informed the field of natural history in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These illustrations
are also treasured artifacts from times past, their far-
flung travels revealing a world being reshaped by the
forces of global commerce and information exchange even
then. The shared project of John Abbot and William
Swainson is now brought to completion, signaling the
beginning of a new phase of its significance for modern
readers and scholars."--EBSCO.
