Sowerby 7 - This stunning variety of images are taken from a collection by James Sowerby (March 21, 1757 - October 25, 1822). An English naturalist and illustrator, Sowerby contributed to such works as A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland or English Botany. The use of vivid colour and accessible texts were intended to reach a widening audience in the works of natural history.
