The natural world as seen through the eyes of British artists
including Eric Ravilious, Clare Leighton, and John Piper Since its
publication in 1789, Gilbert White's Natural History and
Antiquities of Selborne has inspired generations of artists,
writers and naturalists. From Thomas Bewick to Eric Ravilious and
Clare Leighton, many artists' depictions of animals, birds and
wildlife have illustrated White's celebrated book, together
providing a microcosm of natural history illustration from the
eighteenth century until today. In Drawn to Nature, Simon Martin
has gathered joyful and beautiful images of the extraordinary array
of wildlife described by White, providing an insight into the
continuing appeal and relevance of the Natural History. This
fascinating account takes us from some of the earliest published
depictions of birds and animals, to pioneering nature photography,
the revival of wood-engraving in the 1920s and 30s, and responses
to White's message about the natural world by contemporary
illustrators such as Angie Lewin and Emily Sutton. The book also
includes an introduction to the life of Gilbert White by Sir David
Attenborough, an essay by Virginia Woolf, poems by modern and
contemporary poets, and a jacket design by Mark Hearld. Distributed
for Pallant House Gallery
