About the Item
Edward Donovan (1768–1837) was an Anglo Irish writer, natural history illustrator and amateur zoologist. Born in Cork, Ireland, Donovan was an avid collector of natural history specimens purchased mainly at auctions of specimens from voyages of exploration.
Donovan often used thick paints, burnished highlights, albumen overglazes and metallic paints. These covered the engravings from his own copper plates, Donovan personally undertook all steps of the illustration process for his books, the drawing, the etching and engraving and the hand coloring. At other times the fineness of his engraving and etching gives his illustrations the appearance of being watercolors.
In 1807 he founded the London Museum and Institute of Natural History. This exhibited several hundred cases of world birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, mollusks, insects, corals and other invertebrates and botanical specimens and other exotica alongside his British collections
