Abstract:
One hundred years before Audubon began painting birds, Mark Catesby was painting birds in colonial America. Called the \"Colonial Audubon,\" Catesby published NATURAL HISTORY OF CAROLINA, FLORIDA, and BAHAMAS in England between the years 1731 and 1743. The book contains 109 bird illustrations, 20 color plates, and text. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Press has recently reissued the book in paperback.
