Throughout the centuries women have made significant contributions
to natural history art, science and education. This stunning
collection celebrates the work and lives of women artists spanning
the last four centuries and is illustrated with a selection of
exquisite artworks from the unrivalled collections held in the
Library of the Natural History Museum. The book features specially
selected artworks by women from the seventeenth century onwards.
The artists share a fascination and enthusiasm for the natural
world and together their work combines to cover a broad range of
different techniques and subject matters.There are fine butterfly
drawings by accomplished natural history illustrator Margaret
Fountaine, vivid illustrations of Indian natural, cultural and
social history by Olivia Tonge, and detailed bird images by
Elizabeth Gould, who married highly regarded ornithologist John
Gould and produced over 600 illustrations for her husband's
publications. Featuring celebrated artworks and rarely-seen gems,
this book serves up a visual feast of the never ending wonders of
the natural world and the significant role that women have played
in observing and documenting it.
