“The great south sea caterpillar, transform’d into a Bath butterfly” (1795) by James Gillray, a caricature of the naturalist and botanist Joseph Banks, who died on this day in 1820.
Read more about Banks in Patricia Fara's "Joseph Banks: Portraits of a Placid Elephant", an essay tracing the changing iconography of the English botanist who travelled on Captain Cook’s first great voyage (250 years ago this year) and went on to become President of the Royal Society and important patron for a whole host of significant developments in the natural sciences: https://buff.ly/3c1AkNB Kuva vähem
