***TITLE : FROG & TOAD SKELETONS

DESCRIPTION : a gorgeous detailed copper plate engraving from the monumental work 'The Naturalist's Miscellany' - notable for its huge variety of animals, for the way many are imbued with distinctive whimsical personalities, and for the sheer visual appeal of its plates. W
The retailer English naturalist, George Shaw, wrote the text for this work, and the plates were drawn and engraved by natural history artist, Frederick P. Nodder. After Nodder's death in 1800, his son finished the illustrations.

George Shaw was a medical practitioner and a lecturer in botany at Oxford University, a founder of the Linnean Society of London and Keeper of the Natural History Section of the British Museum. He published one of the first English descriptions with scientific names of several of the common Australian animals. He was among the first scientists to examine a platypus and published the first scientific description of it in The Naturalist's Miscellany.

Frederick Polydore Nodder was a British natural history artist who illustrated both plants and animals. In addition to working on Shaw's The Naturalist's Miscellany, he also helped Joseph Banks prepare the Banks Florilegium and converted most of Sydney Parkinson's Australian plant drawings into paintings and helped engrave them for publication. *
