Animals Drawn from Nature and Engraved in Aqua-tinta

in #book7 years ago

Animals Drawn from Nature and Engraved in Aqua-tinta is a book written and illustrated by Charles Catton the younger and published in London in 1788. It is a very early example of a work including hand-coloured aquatints. The thirty-six animals described, all mammals except for the crocodile, were from both the New World and the Old World. At the time Catton had not travelled abroad so he drew native British animals as well exotics kept in captivity in Britain.220px-Charles_Catton,_Animals_(1788)_Page48_Image1.jpg
