    Completed in 1747, Mark Catesbys Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands was the first major illustrated publication on the flora and fauna of Britains American colonies. Together with his Hortus Britanno-Americanus (1763), which detailed plant species that might be transplanted successfully to British soil, Catesbys Natural History exerted an important, though often overlooked, influence on the development of art, natural history, and scientific observation in the eighteenth century. Inspired by a major traveling exhibition of Catesbys watercolor drawings from the Royal Library, Windsor Castle, this collection of interdisciplinary essays considers Catesbys endeavors as a naturalist-artist, scientific explorer, experimental horticulturist, ornamental gardener, and early environmental thinker in terms of the interests held by the various, overlapping communities in which he functioned--particularly as those interests related to the British colonial enterprise.The contributors are David R. Brigham, Joyce E. Chaplin, Mark Laird, Amy R. W. Meyers, Therese OMalley, and Margaret Beck Pritchard.
