Two hand colored engraved fish from a Jardine book about 1850

Original (1140 x 1422)

Sir William Jardine (1800-1874) made natural history available to all levels of Victorian society by editing and issuing the hugely popular forty volumes of The Naturalist’s Library (1833-1843). The 40 volumes is divided into four main sections: Ornithology (14 volumes), Mammalia (13 volumes), Entomology (7 volumes), and Ichthyology (6 volumes); each prepared by a leading naturalist.
