Early British sailing expeditions carried naturalists who created stunning images of new plants and animals encountered in exotic lands. This month’s slideshow will feature Natural History Prints from British Explorations. From a 1687 watercolor of a cacao tree detail (source of chocolate) to an 1850 painting of a Papuan bird of paradise, these stunning images will be set into remarkable narratives of the voyages and profound impacts in subsequent decades. Some famed participants in the voyages included Captain James Cook, Charles Darwin, and Joseph Banks. The speaker will be antiques journalist Bob Jackman. While the talk will be organized around a sequence of 70 slides, the atmosphere will be informal with questions and answers throughout the presentation. Expect to learn a bit, share some laughs, and have a good time.
