Shaw and Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany
The Naturalist's Miscellany was a monumental 24-volume work, known for its wide range of fish, insects, animals, and sea life. These prints are highly sought after by collectors for their extremely decorative and whimsical nature. George Shaw authored the work, providing details for the over 1000 species described therein. Fredrick Nodder was the engraver for most of the work. After his death in 1800, however, his son took over the position. They are on fine, uncut paper, with a J. Whatman watermark. They are ~ 9 1/4" by 5 1/2".
