This book explores the life and work of the celebrated eighteenth-century English naturalist, explorer, artist and author Mark Catesby (1683–1749). During Catesby’s lifetime, science was poised to shift from a world of amateur virtuosi to one of professional experts. Working against a backdrop of global travel that incorporated collecting and direct observation of nature, Catesby spent two prolonged periods in the New World – in Virginia (1712–19) and South Carolina and the Bahamas (1722–6). In his majestic two-volume Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands (1731–43), esteemed by his contemporary John Bartram as ‘an ornament for the finest library in the world’, he reflected the excitement, drama and beauty of the natural world. Interweaving elements of art history, history of science, natural history illustration, painting materials, book history, paper studies, garden history and colonial history, this meticulously researched volume brings together a wealth of unpublished images as well as newly discovered letters by Catesby, which, with their first-hand accounts of his collecting and encounters in the wild, bring the story of this extraordinary pioneer naturalist vividly to life.

Catesby, Mark,

In dit rijk geïllustreerde boek zijn werken bijeengebracht die de canon van meer dan vijfhonderd jaar westerse boekvormgeving illustreren. Het gedrukte boek in al zijn gedaanten: als naslagwerk en kunstwerk, als 'machine à lire' en beeldboek, en als prestigeboek en wegwerppocket. Er is werk opgenomen van beroemde drukkers uit de handpersperiode - Nicolas Jenson, Aldus Manutius, Christoffel Plantijn, de Elzeviers, John Baskerville en Giambattista Bodoni - en van toonaangevende moderne boekontwerpers zoals William Morris, El Lissitzky, Jan Tschichold, Paul Rand, Robert Massin en Irma Boom. Extra aandacht is er voor drukkershandboeken, die inzicht geven in het drukproces, en voor kalligrafi eboeken en letterproeven, die de letter in een breder kader plaatsen. Ook is er bijzonder geïllustreerd werk van architecten en kunstenaars als Giovanni Battista Piranesi en Maria Sibylla Merian opgenomen.
