Moses HARRIS,  (1731-1785). These are from the rarer Exposition of English Insects (dated 1776, but not published until 1780), considered by many Harris's principal scientific work. It was of particular value to dipterists, and notable also for the author's self-portrait at the age of forty-nine (dated 1780). There was also an issue of 1781, a second edition in 1782, and finally an issue of 1786 which these are from with three  moths plates from the Aurelian  All 500 figures of insects were drawn, engraved and finely coloured by hand by the entomologist and engraver himself. Harris was one of the most outstanding entomologists of the time and the "first to draw attention to the importance of wing neuration in the classification of lepidoptera and upon this principle he arranged the species in his published works, illustrating them in colour with a high degree of accuracy" (Lisney, S. 156f.)

Aurelain Plate 4

Moses Harris (15 April 1730 – c. 1788) was an English entomologist and engraver. He produced The Aurelian or natural history of English insects (1766, 2nd edn 1775). This work is known as his best, presenting scientific ideas in highly artistic illustrations. It was originally published by Harris in 1766; The rich hand-colouring in this work is spectacula and original , and only adds to the beauty of the insects. They are on thick, cream-colored paper that measures. These seem to be one of the two early editions NOT the 1840 reprint which is on more polished white paper They are £185 each delivered or substantially less for the set or collected

Histoire naturelle de la Caroline, la Floride et les isles Bahama". Nuremberg 1770-1773. Johann Michael Seligmann, was a German publisher, who issued a nine volume compilation of the work of the Englishmen Mark Catesby (1683-1749) and George Edwards (1694-1773). Catesby has been called the "Founder of American Ornithology" because of his monumental Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands (London, 1731-43), the first natural history of American flora and fauna. Seligmann issued this a few years after Edwards and Catesby published their work; the text was translated into German by Georg Leonhard Huth, and Seligmann produced new plates based on the images of the two Englishmen. The plates are re-engravings by Johann Michael Seligmann who added to the animal illustrations plants and flowers, partly with insects and butterflies colour is original
George Edwards (1694-1773) was an English naturalist and ornithologist, known as the "father of British ornithology". Edwards was born at Stratford, Essex. In his early years he travelled extensively through mainland Europe, studying natural history, and gained some reputation for his coloured drawings of animals, especially birds.'A Natural History of Uncommon Birds, and of Some Other Rare and Undescribed Animals, Quadrupeds, Reptiles, Fishes, Insects, Etc., Exhibited in Two Hundred and Ten Copper-Plates, from Designs Copied Immediately from Nature, and Curiously Colored After Life. With a Full and Accurate Description of Each Figure. To Which is Added, A Brief and General Idea of Drawing, and Painting in Water-Colours; with Instructions for Etching on Copper with Aqua Fortis: Likewise Some Thoughts on the Passage of Birds; and Additions to Many of the Subjects Described in this Work.' London, 1743-1751, 4 Vols.
Mark Catesby (1683-1749) came to the American colonies first in 1712 to visit his sister, wife of the secretary to the Governor of Virginia. Catesby's "visit" lasted seven years, during which time his sister provided him with social and scientific contacts and Catesby indulged his collecting. Many of Catesby's specimens were sent to England and in 1719 he was something of a celebrity on his return. In 1722 Catesby returned to America to pursue his Natural History of Carolina Florida and the Bahama Islands , published in London between 1731 and 1743.The plants shown are all from this region.

Émile Blanchard (fl. c. 1845) Original watercolour

Original watercolour with gum arabic page for an illustration for the Dictionnaire D'Histoire Naturelle, 1849 . This has traces of his writing describing the insects and extensive faint script to the base of the pic.

. .. . . Charles Émile Blanchard (6 March 1819 – 11 February 1900) was a French zoologist and entomologist born in Paris. His father was an artist and naturalist and Émile began natural history very early in life. When he was 14 years old, Jean Victoire Audouin (1797–1841), allowed him access to the laboratory of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle. In 1838, he became a technician or préparateur in this then, as now, famous institution. In 1841, he became assistant-naturalist.He accompanied Henri Milne-Edwards (1800–1885) and Jean Louis Armand de Quatrefages de Breau (1810–1892) to Sicily on a marine zoology expedition. He published, in 1845 a Histoire des insectes, or History of the insects and, in 1854–1856 Zoologie agricole or Agricultural Zoology. This last work is remarkable: it presents in a precise way the harmful or pest species and the damage they cause to various crop plants. This work was illustrated by his father.Next he published an atlas of the anatomy of the vertebrates which appeared between 1852 and 1864. This publication raised his hopes to obtain the chair of reptiles and fish at the Natural History Museum left vacant by the death of Auguste Duméril (1812–1870) but it was finally Leon Vaillant (1834–1914) who was selected. However, in 1862, he was given the chair of natural history of Crustacea, Arachnida and Insects. He left this in 1894 following his infirmity. He was elected, in 1862 into the Academy of Science. He began to lose his sight after 1860 and became blind in 1890. He died in Paris
