Ferdinand Bauer: The Australian Natural History Drawings

Very good used paperback. Small crease at top right corner of front cover; covers a bit rubbed.

A biography of one of the pioneers of botanical and natural history art. The book showcases Bauer's drawings made on a historic 1801 voyage to Australia. His attention to detail gave scientists an excellent study of Australian plants and animals. Most of these drawings and watercolors had never before been published.
