Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The catalog was produced to coincide with the museum's removal to and re-opening in its newly opened location at Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. Bullock accumulated a large collection of antiquities and natural history specimens, which in the late 1790s he exhibited at Sheffield in a Museum of Natural Curiosities before being moved to Liverpool in 1801. In 1808 Bullock published a descriptive catalog of the collection, including objects which had been brought back by members of James Cook's expeditions. The continued success of the museum prompted its move to London in 1809. The catalog opens with a list of ladies and gentlemen who presented curiosities to the museum. This is followed by a description of Quadrupeds, including the platypus. The London museum section begins with a detailed description of items from Captain Cook's South Sea voyages, all assembled in the Sandwich Island Case and two smaller subsidiary cases. The small glass case C contained a jumble of objects: a North American belt, an African cap, Chinese coins, clear plates of natural mica, and lumps of asbestos. After a description of the silk stockings of James I, there follows cases of various nations and continents. The collection continued to be on exhibition until 1819, when its 32,000 items were disposed of by auction. See: Altick, R.D. Shows of London, pages 235-252.

Download or read book Perry's Arcana written by Richard E. Petit and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1810 to 1811, the English stonemason and amateur naturalist George Perry published a lavishly illustrated magazine on natural history. The Arcana or Museum of Nature ran to 22 monthly parts, with 84 extraordinary hand-colored plates and over 300 text pages describing mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, mollusks, echinoderms, insects, trilobites and plants, alongside travelogues from far-off lands. It presented the first published illustration of the koala and many new genera and species, but astonishingly was then largely forgotten for nearly two hundred years. Perry’s work was deliberately ignored by his contemporaries in England, as he was a supporter of Lamarck rather than of Linnaeus, and the Arcana’s rarity—only thirteen complete copies are known to have survived—has helped maintain its shroud of mystery. Now at last this neglected gem has been revived for scientists, students, and aficionados of natural history. New scholarship is combined with modern digital reproduction techniques to do full justice to the beautiful plates. An up-to-date account of all the species is given, along with a full collation and extensive notes, by the eminent natural historian Richard E. Petit. The Arcana is technically interesting too, as its glowing plates were printed with variously colored inks to suppress their outlines. Its appeal will extend not only to academic libraries and scholars specializing in various branches of natural history and the history of science, but also to collectors of beautiful natural history books and enthusiasts of Regency Britain.

Download or read book Thylacine written by Gareth Linnard and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2023-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the mid-20th century, the thylacine was the world’s largest carnivorous marsupial, and its disappearance has left many questions and contradictions. Alternately portrayed as a scourge and as a high value commodity, the thylacine’s ecology and behaviour were known only anecdotally. In recent years, its taxonomic position, ecology, behaviour and body size have all been re-examined scientifically, while advances in genetics have presented the potential for de-extinction. With 78 contributors, Thylacine: The History, Ecology and Loss of the Tasmanian Tiger presents an evidence-based profile of the thylacine, examining its ecology, evolution, encounters with humans, persecution, assumed extinction and its appearance in fiction. The final chapters explore the future for this iconic species – a symbol of extinction but also hope.

Download or read book Science and Visual Culture in Great Britain in the Long Nineteenth Century written by Diana Donald and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-07 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume consists of a collection of primary sources throwing light on the various aspects of interplay between zoology and visual culture in nineteenth-century Britain. Scientific illustration, both in specialist studies and in works intended for a broader lay readership, are included. These sources throw light on the difficulties of both authors and illustrators in conceptualising their subjects in visual forms, given the great extension of knowledge of the natural world and the technical complexities of image-making in the pre-photographic era. The study examines the impact of zoological knowledge and theories on imaginative art, and explores the aestheticisation and appropriation of nature, especially in relation to bird imagery in painting, illustration and the decorative arts. Finally, the collection examines the presentation of zoology and palæozoology to the general public, for both education and entertainment purposes. This title will be of great interest to students of the History of Science and Art History.

Download or read book Views of Ancient Egypt since Napoleon Bonaparte written by David Jeffreys and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses some of the main themes of the study of Egypt during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In a combination of case studies and discursive chapters, the status of Egypt as an important example of traditional Asian scholarship, and as an ancient model of imperialism itself, is examined. Contributions range from studies of nineteenth century antiquarianism, and the collecting of Egyptian antiquities as an extension of the territorial ambitions and rivalries of the European powers, to explorations of how Egypt is understood and interpreted in contemporary societies. Views of Ancient Egypt also considers the way in which Ancient Egypt has been adopted by less privileged members of some societies as a cultural icon of past greatness.
