In 1712, English naturalist Mark Catesby (16831749) crossed the Atlantic to Virginia. After a sevenyear stay, he returned to England with paintings of plants and animals he had studied. They sufficiently impressed other naturalists that in 1722 several Fellows of the Royal Society sponsored his return to North America. There Catesby cataloged the flora and fauna of the Carolinas and the Bahamas by gathering seeds and specimens, compiling notes, and making watercolor sketches. Going home to England after five years, he began the twentyyear task of writing, etching, and publishing his monumental The Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands.Mark Catesby was a man of exceptional courage and determination combined with insatiable curiosity and multiple talents. Nevertheless no portrait of him is known. The international contributors to this volume review Catesbys biography alongside the historical and scientific significance of his work. Ultimately, this lavishly illustrated volume advances knowledge of Catesbys explorations, collections, artwork, and publications in order to reassess his importance within the pantheon of early naturalists.Contributors: Kraig Adler, Aaron M.
