Nodder as illustrator – Shaw published the “The Naturalist's Miscellany” an extensive compendium of the birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, fishes, crustacean and sea marine life - that were new to science -  discovered and described by naturalists and explorers in and around Australia and New Zealand during Eighteenth Century expeditions.  Frederick Polydore Nodder (1770 - 1800)  was a British natural history artist who illustrated both plants and animals.  “The Naturalist's Miscellany”  is Nodder’s most extensive and important artwork: the images were highly refined, and executed with the most scrupulous Adherence to Nature. “The Naturalist's Miscellany” (1789-1813)  was published in 287 monthly parts over ~24 years and was organized to be bound in a potential 24 volumes. It describes zoological subjects, many new to science, and native to the South Pacific and Australia.  "A remarkable serial" (Wood), a monumental work on Natural History. As the original Prospectus stated: "The Plates [are] printed on the best paper ... executed with the most scrupulous Adherence to Nature, and ... colored with the utmost Precision and Exactness". Each print is with relevant descriptive text. All our prints are authentic hand colored antique prints, and these  are about 220 years old.
