Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: These prints are illustrations from 'The Naturalist's Miscellany' by the botanist and zoologist George Shaw (1751-1813), which was published in monthly installments from August 1789 to July 1813, proving to be Shaw's longest-running project. Frederick Polydore Nodder initially illustrated and published 'The Naturalist's Miscellany', with his son Richard contributing illustrations towards the end of Frederick's life, and Frederick's wife Elizabeth Nodder taking over as publisher after his death.
