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.  The work was published in London from 1789 to 1813.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach engraving features beautiful, original hand-coloring on woven, J. Whatman watermarked paper.  The original descriptive text (sometimes in both English and Latin) is included with each engraving.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Shaw was a doctor, Fellow of the Royal Society, co-founder of the Linnean  Society, and a zoologist of the British Museum.  He was also the first to publish a scientific description of the platypus which was done in his noted work with Frederick Nodder, the \u003cem\u003eNaturalist’s Miscellany.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trillium Rare Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43805982654538,"sku":"nodder944","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7960\/7882\/files\/nodder944.jpg?v=1783956889","url":"https:\/\/trilliumrareprints.com\/products\/nodder944","provider":"Trillium Rare Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
