Merian & Jonston 1650-7 Birds.
John Johnston (
Jonston, Jonstone or Johnstone, 1603-1675) was a descendant of a
Scottish family. Born in Sambter, Poland, he studied extensively at
the famous universities of the day, including St. Andrews, Scotland,
Cambridge & Leiden. In 1622 Jonston studied at several centres
in Prussia, after that, he visited England and Scotland (collecting
already in 1623 valuable information about some British species).
After travelling around Germany, France, Italy and Holland, he came
back to Britain, to study in Cambridge and London. Afterwards, he
graduated in Medicine in Leyden, Dutch city in which he was offered
the Medicine chair at University and where he published his first
works. Several years later, he was offer the same chair at the
electorate of Brandenburg, preferring, however, to continue studying
in private and develop his masterpiece: the Historia Naturalis,
which would be published for the first time in Frankfurt am Main
between 1649 and 1653.The second edition of the work, including
trees and plants, would be released in Amsterdam between 1657 and
1663. After many years traveling in Europe, he settled in Silesia.
Merian, was a long lineage of printers, artists and superb engravers. Matthaeus Merian senior (1593 – 1650) was the printer and father of the Matthaeus Merian brothers junior (1621 - 1687), Kaspar Merian (1627) and their sister María Sibylla Merian (1647 - 1717), the latter from his second marriage to a Dutch woman. Sibylla was firstly an entomologist and a great draftswoman, painter and engraver of plants and insects her work is in the botanical section . However, the most hard working artist of the family was Matthaeus Merian junior, to whom Jonston’s most famous copper engravings have been attributed. More than one plate of this encyclopaedia has the signature Matthaeus Merian Junior Fecit
